Assess the impact of sewage treatment plants on the microbiological quality of water in urban slums.
Collected water samples from various slum locations in Lagos, Nigeria.
Analyzed microbiological parameters including total coliforms and E. coli using standard methods.
Monitored total coliform counts in affected areas to determine bacterial contamination.
Total coliform counts varied from 150 to 800 CFU/100mL in contaminated samples.
Significant bacterial contamination was detected, indicating compromised water safety.
Presence of sewage treatment plants contributed to the microbiological instability of water.
