I have a borewell water connection (use jet pump) to a plastic tank on terrace. We wash face/bath with that water. I am very scared that can we get n fowleri infection if the water goes up our noses?

Dear lybrate-user hopefully the water must be treated. If not, you can use a water filter for the same. Nowadays one gets filters with uv pirification for taps and showers as well.
