Bacteria identification were carried out according to standard techniques(Anon,1992, American Public Health Association, 1995, Acumedia Manufactures, 2011). the groups of bacteria identified in the sampled wells were total coliform, faecal coliform, E.coli and Shigella spp. of which the presence of these pathogenic bacteria in sampled wells is against the recommended standard by WHO for drinking water,therefore water from these wells were considered unsafe for drinking.
