This research was aimed at determining bacteriological analysis of water from selected sources within Gusau Metropolis, Zamfara State, Nigeria. The water used are
tap water, borehole water, and well water. A number of sample of six (6) was obtained from each source. The method used include spread plate, standard plate count, and biochemical test methods. The result indicated that for tap water Madawaki had the lowest count of coliform (1.0x105) cfu/ml, while Tudun wada had the highest count of
coliform (6.1x105) du/ml. For borehole water Sabon gari had the lowest count of coliform (2.0x105) du/ml and Galadima had the highest count of coliform (8.0x105)
du/ml . for well water Tudun wada had the lowest count of coliform (1.7x105) cfu/ml and Madawakihad the highest count of coliform (5.0x105) cfu/ml.
