This study assessed the physicochemical properties of water collected from hand-dug wells and boreholes in the Senior Staff Quarters, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. It isolated and identified the bacterial contaminants in the water samples. It also evaluated the total coliforms and the total heterotrophic bacteria in the water samples. These were with a view to providing information on the quality of water from different water sources in the study area. Twenty out of 40 hand-dug wells and five out of 10 boreholes were selected for the study. A total of 100 water samples were collected and examined, comprising four from each water source made up of two each in the wet and dry seasons. Information on the wells and boreholes were provided by their owners using a structured questionnaire. Temperature, colour, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), total solids (TS),

Keywords : Physicochemical, Bacteriological, Boreholes, Hand-dug Wells.
