Determination Of The Sanitary Quality Of The Municipal Water Supply In Umuahia Metropolis:- Ofoma, Eberechi P.
ABSTRACT
Samples of drinking water were
Collected from four different laces in Umuahia Metropolis — Umudike,
Ehimiri, Ahiaeke and Amawom and analyzed for their bacteriological quality. The
total heterotrophic bacterial counts of the water from different places ranged
from 2.6x10 to 3.8xl04 cfulml with the total coliform count ranging from
l.OxlO3 to 1.6xl03 cfulml. Faecal coliforms were detected in only one of the
samples. Out of the seven genera of organisms identified, Enterobacter spp
were the highest in frequency followed by Klebsiella spp The presence
of faecal coliforms in one of the samples suggests that the drinking
water sources are relatively safe. However, the high level of heterotrohic
bacteria and the presence oftotal coliforms are causes for concern.
