1.2Statement of Problem
In urban
communities’ drinking water are sourced from wells, spring, rainfall
etc. This water before taken is not given any form of treatment. These
have caused the high rate of water borne disease. Ikeh et al., 2008
explains that the outbreak of water borne disease in urban communities
is alarming and these has resulted to death of the infected individuals
as a result of poor response by medical practitioners to these problem.
He further states that an outbreak of water borne disease is gradually
becoming an epidemic if adequate steps are not taken to combat it. Apart
from urban communities people also in rural areas do not have good
source of water borne disease. These statements thereby prompt the need
for an analysis to be conducted of water supplied to urban areas.
1.3Aim of the Study
1. To identify the bacterial organism in sachet and bottled water.
2. To determine the bacterial load of microorganism in the sourced water.
3. To ascertain the level of the borne disease in these area.
1.4 Hypothesis
Ho: Sachet and bottled water cannot be contaminated by bacteria.
Ho: Sachet and bottled water can be contaminated by bacteria.
1.5Significance of the Study
The
result of the bacteriological examination of sachet and bottled water
in Enugu Metropolis (9th mile) would determine the prevalence of water
borne disease in these area and I would ensure that prevention and
techniques such as boiling water, adequate treatment of water borne
disease patient, thereby ensuring the control for its emergences.
1.6Limitation of the Study
Lack
of finance in purchase of reagent and material that were non-existence
in the laboratory and this affect the source of information thereby
limiting the scope of the project work.
This project work is limited
only to identify and determines the bacterial load and organisms
responsible for contamination of sachet and bottled water in 9th mile,
Enugu.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ] The bacteriological examination of bottled and sachet water in Enugu metropolis, a case study of Aqua Rapha in 9th mile, Enugu was carried out to determine the bacterial load in the water samples and organisms that contaminates the water. The water samples were spring water, well water and surface tank reservoir of rain water from Enugu metropolis of Aqua Rapha in a sterile container. Using pour plate plating techniques 0.1ml of water sample was pipette into Petri-dishes and the already prepar ... Continue reading---
