Every year, BEWASCO conducts a comprehensive water quality testing across all its distribution networks, storage tanks, and public kiosks.
Water samples were collected from 34 different points across the network including:
Each sample was tested for bacterial contamination, chemical composition, turbidity, pH levels, and residual chlorine.
| Test Parameter | WHO Safe Limit | BEWASCO Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| E. coli (CFU/100ml) | 0 | 0 | Pass |
| Total Coliform | Less than 1 | 0 | Pass |
| pH Level | 6.5 to 8.5 | 7.2 | Pass |
| Turbidity (NTU) | Less than 5 | 1.8 | Pass |
| Residual Chlorine (mg/L) | 0.2 to 1.0 | 0.45 | Pass |
| Total Dissolved Solids (mg/L) | Less than 600 | 312 | Pass |
All 34 tested points passed every WHO parameter. The water supplied by BEWASCO is safe to drink directly from the tap or kiosk without further treatment. This result reflects BEWASCO ongoing investment in water treatment, chlorination, and pipeline maintenance.
We are proud to confirm that every drop of water we deliver meets international safety standards. The health of our community is our highest priority. - BEWASCO Technical Director
