Abstract
In September 2000, World Leaders from 189 countries met and declared their resolve to free the entire human race from poverty and want. One of the goals which emanated from the meeting known as the Millennium Development (Goals (MDGs) targets the reduction by half of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2015 (Ibrahim, 2006). This study examines the possibility of meeting this target in the medium size settlements in Nigeria which hardly get the attention of concerned authority. The survey of existing water sources and their capacity was conducted using questionnaire and personal observation methods. The result reveals gross inadequate supply and over reliance on unsafe sources of water for domestic use and significant incidence of water related diseases in the study area.
