Physicochemical and bacteriological quality of water from the networkof water supply in Abobo, Abidjan, Côte d’ivoire

Potential source of life, drinking water must undergo various physical, chemical and bacteriological analyses that will assess its quality for human consumption avoiding any risk of contamination. This study aims to determine the physical, the chemical and the bacteriological quality of drinking water in Abobo (Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire). Ten (10) neighborhoods have been selected for the sampling from taps. A total of forty (40) water samples have been analyzed at a ratio of four (04) samples per neighborhood. Eleven (11) physical and chemical parameters and four (04) bacteriological parameters were analyzed on the basis of the French standards (AFNOR). According to the results, drinking water inten (10) neighborhoods ofAbobo has a good physico-chemical quality. However, two (2) samples out of forty (40)are unfit for human consumption because they are total coliforms contaminated. This may be due to the low rate of free chlorine in these samples et also to the supply network quality.
