Abstract:
Access to good quality water has been a challenge to humans due to the pollution of the limited water
resources around. Over one billion people do not have access to a safe source of drinking water. This
phenomenon is leading to the loss of children below the age five (5) on an hourly basis. With the rate at
which sachet water producing companies are coming up, there is the need to assess the quality of the
water being produced for consumption. This research sought to ascertain the quality of sachet water
produced and vended in the Koforidua Municipality of Ghana. Data was gathered through interviews
and laboratory experiments. The results from the physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters of
the samples indicated compliance with the Ghana standards on drinking water quality. The research
recommended regular monitoring of the sachet water producing factories. Also the retailers should
ensure proper hygiene to avoid contamination of the water
