Abstract: Background and Objective: The quality of consumed water is a prevailing environmental determinant of health and a good foundation for preventing and control of water related diseases depends on the assurances of the drinking water safety. This study investigated the quality of selected brands of packaged water consumed within the University of Port Harcourt community, Rivers state, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Water quality parameters such as physicochemical (temperature, electrical conductivity, total suspended solid (TSS), turbidity, total dissolved solid, odour, colour, taste, appearance, acidity, pH, chloride, sodium chloride, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, total iron, sulphate, bicarbonate, saline and free ammonia, nitrate and dissolved free carbon IV oxide and microbiological (total and fecal coliform counts) were determined using standard procedures. Results: The results obtained from sachet and bottled water samples were compared to the reservoir water samples and set standards. Results showed both sachet and bottled water samples complied with set standards by World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigeria Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) for drinking water purposes indicative that the quality of the sachet and bottled water brands were healthy for human consumption. Conclusion: It is therefore imperative to enlighten consumers on the necessity to go for treated water to be used for drinking and domestic purposes.
