The study conducted at Shahdol University and College aimed to assess the quality of tap water by analyzing its physical, chemical, and biological properties. Water samples were collected in triplicate from each station, and their average values for temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, suspended solids, and total solids were determined. The findings revealed that all physical parameters of the tap water samples met the standard limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO), indicating good quality water. Similarly, the chemical parameters of the tap water samples were within WHO recommendations. Microbiological analysis showed no colonies present, and total coliform bacteria levels were within WHO guidelines. Among the stations, S1 exhibited superior characteristics for drinking water compared to others. The study confirmed that tap water samples from S1, S2, and S3 in operation at Shahdol University and College met the requirements for water intended for human consumption. This underscores the importance of regular monitoring and maintaining water quality in educational institutions to ensure the health and well-being of students and staff.
