Abstract
SUMMARY
Water is essential for supporting livelihoods, safeguarding
public health, providing food security, ensuring environmental sustainability, promoting industrial and economic development, improving living standards and achieving sustainable development. Water-borne diseases are caused by ingestion of contaminated water
from pathogens contained in human or animal excreta (Dinka et al., 2015). It is estimated that about 3.4 billion people in developing
countries are highly vulnerable to water insecurity which developed countries have overcomed through massive technological and
management investments (Vorosmarty et al., 2010).
Drinking water is a major source of microbial pathogens in
developing regions, although poor sanitation and food sources are integral to enteric pathogen exposure. Poor water quality, sanitation
and hygiene account for some 1.7 million deaths a year world-wide
3.1% of all deaths mainly due to infectious diarrhea. Nine out of 10 such deaths are in children and virtually all of the deaths are in developing countries. It is estimated that 58% of that burden, or 842
000 deaths per year, is attributable to unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene and includes 361 000 deaths of children under age five, mostly in low-income countries. Also, 3.52 billion people get sick yearly due to diarrheal diseases as a result of unsafe water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene(WHO et al., 2014).
The aim of this study was examination of drinking water from different community water supplies for any bacter
