This cross sectional study investigates the drinking water quality of Hub river catchment area. The quality of water was examined through bacteriological, chemical and heavy metal analysis. Water from all the samples failed to meet standards for the bacteriological parameters of drinking water, however chemical quality was acceptable. The presence of “lead” indicates the heavy metal contamination which could be potentially dangerous from the public health point of view. This would mean that this important water resource is grossly polluted and could be a potential threat to the people who consume water from the storage.
