There are different sources through which groundwater becomes contaminated and these includes organic wastes, industrial effluents, urban runoff, agricultural activities, geological factors as well as others. Kureken Sani is a newly developed residential area with scattered settlements. The purpose of this research was to analysed the physicochemical parameters from the area and to compare with the standards given by World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigeria Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ). Three samples were collected from different locations for the analysis. The parameters analyzed are pH, temperature, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended solids, Suspended solid, Electrical conductivity, Alkalinity, Mg2+, Ca2+, colour, free Co2, turbidity, Total hardness and Chloride. The results indicated that all the parameters analyzed are within the permissible limits recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) with exception of turbidity level at YS sampling station, Mg2+ concentration at DS and YS sampling point and total hardness from sampling point DS.
