Abstract
Unhygienic source of water can cause water borne diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers (Salmonellosis) as most of the enteric diseases are transmitted through water. Hence bacteriological qualities of samples of some sachet and well water samples were examined in Ago-Iwoye. Some physiological parameters (pH, colour, taste, turbidity, suspended solids) indicative of water quality as well as the total viable counts ad total coliform counts were examined. The pH of the samples ranged between 6.25 and 7.5, Suspended solids content ranged between 3.3 and 18.5 X 10-2. The turbidity ranged between 0.03 and 0.14 for both well and sachet water samples. Well and sachet water samples were all colourless, odourless and tasteless. The total viable counts ranged between 0.1 X 106 and 4.1 X 106 for both sachet water and well water samples. The coliform counts ranged between 0.1 X 105 and 2.7 X 105 for both sachet and well water samples. A total of six bacterial species: Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli, Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp.and Shigella spp., were isolated. Their distribution among the samples and the public health implication are discussed. The well and sachet water samples examined were found to fall short of the WHO recommendations for drinking water and the possible reasons and solutions were discussed.
