ABSTRACT
Unsanitary water has devastating effect to human health, this study focuses on the bacteriological evaluation of two streams; Iyi Umuajata and Iyi Mgbedeala in Olokoro, Umuahia South Local Government Area, Abia State. Samples were collected of about 05.00am in sterile water containers and analysed for bacteriological safety by the multiple tube fermentation techniques. Coliform count was done by the most probable number method. Isolates from Iyi Umuajata and Iyi Mgbedeala were identified by standard techniques on the basis of their gram stain, morphology and biochemical characteristics, results showed high coliform contamination with Iyi Umuajata having a viable count of 1.2 × 104 efu/ml. Both stream had most probable number (MPN) values beyond the WHO recommended range. Water should meet different qualification depending on the particular sources.
