Ablutions in public toilets present many risks to the health of populations. Thus, data were collected to assess the quality of these waters. To do this, electrochemical and spectrophotometric methods were determined for the analysis of classical physico-chemical parameters. The bacteriological parameters were determined by the membrane filtration technique. Based on the results obtained, the parameters involved are residual chlorine (0.09 mg/L), turbidity (1.88 UNT), E. coli (3 CFU/100 ml), total coliforms (53 CFU/100 ml). Therefore, the low degree of disinfection is characteristic of these public latrine ablution waters. This leads to the emergence of Escherichia coli, which pose enormous risks to population health. As a palliative solution, sanitary surveillance of these waters used for ablution is therefore necessary to preserve the health of populations.
