ABSTRACT
Samples of well water were collected from four (4) different wells located in different parts of New Haven in Enugu urban area, for bacteriological analysis. Total bacterial counts, using pour plate method were carried out. Nutrient agar plates were used for general bacterial count, while MacConkey agar plates were used for total coliform count. The four different wells that were examined showed different bacterial counts. A total of four different bacteria were isolated. The bacteria isolated and identified included: Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus spp.
