Six samples of water along the channel of Arinta Water Falls in Ipole- Iloro Ekiti, Nigeria were evaluated for microbiological parameters. Sites of sample collection were six (M1-M6) and a distance of 0-477cm in the channel. The most probable coliform number (MPN) ranged from 17-1600 and all the samples contained Escherichia coli. The presence of both high MPN and E.coli made the samples unsuitable for potability unless chemically treated.
