E. coli is found in one sample, the presumptive search for faecal streptococci is negative. On the other hand, no deviation was recorded to the WHO and ta the National drinking warer quality guidelines for turbidity (5NTU), nitrates (45mg/L), nitrites (3mg/L), ammonium (0.5mg/L). l'wa samples (4.5%) failed to pll rest according ta same guidelines for pH (6.5-8.5). We noticed the absence of residual chlorine in ail 44 samples submitted to chemical analyses.
