This paper assessed potable water supply in Akure North Local Government Area, Ondo State, Nigeria, with a view to suggesting strategies for improvement in water supply. This research made use of 466 copies of its research questionnaire administered randomly to household heads in five [5] selected communities of Akure North LGA. The selected communities are Ita-Ogbolu, Ogbese, Igoba, Iju, and Oba-Ile. A sample size of 466 respondents equalling 0.3% of the population was randomly selected across the study area for questionnaire administration. The survey research design method through the use of questionnaire was employed to gather data on the assessment of potable water in the study area. Findings revealed protected hand dug well to be the dominant source of domestic water supply in all communities covered in the study. Huge percentage of the respondents reported that their main sources of water were not reliable during dry season while some said it was not reliable during the raining season. The respondents complained of long distance and the time it takes them to get water from their water source. Boiling of water was the main water treatment among households. Typhoid was the prevalent water borne diseases among households, closely followed by diarrhoea. The study therefore proposed the construction of mini water scheme by the state government and some corporate individuals; the water points should be within 500 m of resident’s homes; construction of a dam for multifarious purposes and enlightenment of residents on the need to treat their water adequately before use.

This paper assesses the residents’ access to public pipe-borne water in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. The authors analyzed spatial distribution and functionality of public pipe-borne water. They also examined intra-urban variation in the distribution of public pipe-borne water in the study area. The study used primary data which were obtained through random sampling techniques of 400 households, using structured questionnaire in the twelve political administrative wards of the examined area. Physical enumeration was also adopted to identify the functional and non-functional public pipe-borne water points. Descriptive statistics in the form of frequency table and percentages with chi-square were used to describe residents’ demand and accessibility of public pipe-borne water. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine intra-urban variations in the functionality of public pipe-borne water. The results revealed that distribution of public pipe-borne water cut across different localities in the twelve political administrative wards that Ilorin West Local Government consisted of. Although the highest proportion (60.24%) of public pipe-borne water points were observed to be functioning, a significant proportion (39.26%) were not functioning. The highest proportion (95.5%) of the respondents were of the opinion that public pipe-borne water is not regularly available. The findings from Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences (F=2.702, P=0.004) in the functioning of public pipe-borne water infrastructural elements existing in the examined area. The study concludes by suggesting the need for the government to ensure regular public water supply to meet the residents’ daily needs for water consumption and domestic use, which continue to increase every day.
