Abstract
Water is an unaffordable resource and vital for human life. Potable drinking water is a basic need for human’s good health. The aim of the study was to examine the qualities of available sachet drinking water in Iree community bacteriologically. Ten different brands if sachet water were selected and were all purchased within Iree community. The selected samples were examined for Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Count (THBC), Total Coliform Counts (TCC) and Total Thermotolerant (Faecal) Count (TTC) using standard microbiological methods. The THBC values obtained ranged from (1.10 x 10
