Water is a valuable natural resource for the survival of human beings. People use water from different sources for different purposes including domestic and industrial use. This water usually contains mineral ions in it. Mineral ions commonly found in water include magnesium, calcium, chloride, cadmium, copper, and lead among others. These minerals get into the human body through the intake of water containing them. They do not affect human health if taken in recommendable amounts but their bioaccumulation can cause an array of diseases. The main purpose of this study was to assess the status of drinking water supply sources to promote awareness of quality water services in the Nsangi local community Wakiso district in central Uganda. The water quality assessment was based on an analysis of the physical, and chemical characteristics and the mineral content concentration of the selected water samples with impressive results.
