Abstract

Water that is free of disease-producing microorganisms and chemical substances harmful to health is called potable water. Drinking water quality has a microbiological and a physicochemical dimension. In public water supply systems, water should be disinfected. This observational study was conducted through a multiple-tube method. And the water supply channel of Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) served as the study's sample. Using an aseptic procedure, 105 ml of water from various sources is collected for each sample on a conical flask. The selected sample was from the four different water supply points at BUHS institution. From sample 1, the MPN (Most Probable Number) index we found the combination of positive sets (0-1-0). The MPN value per 100ml water is (1). From sample 2, the MPN index we found the combination of positive sets (1-1-1). The MPN value per 100ml water is (5). From sample 3, the MPN index we found the combination of positive sets (1-2-1). The MPN value per 100ml water is (7). From sample 4, the MPN index we found the combination of positive sets (0-1-0). The MPN value per 100ml water is (1). In Dhaka city, there is a possibility of contamination of the water sources. Bangladesh University of Health Sciences is a renowned institution with a big number of staff. So, it is important to examine the water condition in this institution. Our work and research reflect a little about it. Gladly and hopefully, we found that there is no pathogenic organism in the water of this institution which is used every day and everybody drinks.
