This study was purely experimental, and the goal is to ascertained if produced water is fit for a specific purpose. Water is mostly purified for human consumption (drinking water,) but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacology, chemical and industrial applications. Hence variety of commercially hawk water were sampled and exposed to laboratory chemical analysis and the results indicated that majority of this water were not good for human consumption. The samples tested in Epe metropolis did not meet the standards for drinking water quality that are typically set by governments or by international standards. These standards will typically set minimum and maximum concentrations of contaminants for the use that is to be made of the water, and lastly recommendations were made.
