Abstract

Water borne diseases continue to be dominant cause of water borne morbidities and mortability all over the world.In present study,a total of 50 water samples were analyzed from ten different mineral water plant sources.The percentage of Escherichia coli in total water plant sample was found to be 70%.The highest percentage of Escherichia coli was found in sample E and J as compared to other sample and the minimum percentage of pathogens as compared to sample I.All these waters might be contaminated due to various reasons.If such water is not purified properly, then it affects on the health of consumers. Ground water such as boreholes when properly constructed and maintained provide a relatively safer source of raw water and such water are tobe taken for the purpose of purification it will be properly purified. Appropriate treatment process should be utilized for production of quality and safe water from mineral water plants.
