dc.description.abstractWater samples were collected directly from Oyun river before entering the water treatment plant, chlorinated tank, storage tank, male hostel tap, and female hostel tap. Samples were analysed for their physicochemical characteristics, bacteriological load, as well as haematological studies on the rats fed with the water samples for thirty days. The pH of the sample ranged from 6.12 to 6.84, water temperature was between 27.80 C and 26.40 C inclusive, turbidity also ranged from 4.7(NTU) to 8.2(NTU), total dissolve solid ranged from 8.00mg/l to 85.20mg/l, BOD value for the untreated water was 4.150 and conductance ranged from 82.02µS/cm to 89.06µS/cm. Total heterotrophic plate count ranged from 1.33 to 34.00 cfu/ml, total coliform count ranged from 4 cfu/ 100ml to 192cfu/100ml and total thermotolerant coliform count ranged from 1.50 to 124.67 cfu/100ml. The organisms isolated are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella sp., Shigella sp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Enterobacter aerogenes, Serratia marcescens, Micrococcus varians, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Lactobacillus sp. and Bacillus sp. Hematological investigations revealed the PCV value to ranged from 24.00 to 28.80, Hb (5.60 to 9.04), RBC (3.22 to 5.44), WBC (5.46 to 7.12), Lymphocyte count (55.40 to 61.00) and Neutrophil value was between 38.60 and 43.40 inclusive. We therefore advocate proper treatment of water before distribution to the consumers.en_US
