A large section of residents live in the newly established crowded colonies under unhygienic conditions. The public bore wells, located in these areas are the main source of drinking water The present study was carried out to monitor the suitability of raw ground water for safe drinking purposes and to investigate the status of these sites for bacterial contamination throughout the year The results of this study revealed significant increase in the concentration of indicator organisms in all the samples during monsoon season.
