Bacteriological Analysis Of Tap Water Samples In Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike
ABSTRACT
This study examined the
bacteriological analysis of tap water samples in Michael Okpara University of
agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU) in Abia state. A total number of six (6) different
water taps were taken. Samples were collected from male hostel tap, Pcmulc
Hostel Tap, Admin Tap, Merchandise Restaurant Tap, Postgraduate Tap and
Generator House Tap. The water samples were analyzed using multiple tube
fermentation method. Pour plate method by identification of bacterial isolates
were also carried out. The bacteriological analysis result showed that
Pseudomonas species were present in all the samples, 6( I 00%), E.coli and
Klebsiela species in 3(50%), Enterobacler species in 2(33%), Staphylococcus
species in 4(67%) and Proteus species in I ( 17%). All the samples showed no
growth of Salmonella and Vibro species. The presence of coliforms in these
water samples is an indication of fecal contamination and high value of
heterotrophic counts shows ineffective water treatment. The implication of
those results is that the water poses a health risk to the students and other
used that rely on them as the only source of domestic water supply
