taste of all samples were recorded unobjectionable. The temperature for the
control, BW1 and BW2 ranged from 27.20 °C to 27.7 °C. The turbidity value for
all the samples were 0.00±0.00 NTU. The pH values recorded 6.67, 6.28 and 6.54
for the control, BW1 and BW2 respectively while the conductivity values for the
samples were 225.00pS/cm for BW1 and 482.00uS/cm for BW2. The chemical
