The purpose of this study was to collect data on the water quality in several locations around Gimbi town by analyzing samples of drinking water. Twenty by three times sixty, or composite drinking water samples, were gathered from five different locations throughout town. An AAS and UV-Vis spectrophotometer were used to examine the following parameters: temperature, conductivity, totals dissolved solids (TDS), pH, and five heavy metals: Cr (VI), Cu (II), Cd (II), Pb (II), Zn (II), and phenol in the sample. Within the permitted limits established by the World Health Organization, all samples contain lead (II), cadmium (II), chromium (VI), copper (II), zinc (II), and phenol. The range of metal ion concentrations and phenolic levels in the samples that were tested includes lead (II) (0.34 μg – 0.78 μg), chromium (VI) (0.3 μg – 0.52 μg), cadmium (II) (0.3 μg – 0.62 μg), copper (II) (0.32 μg – 0.97 μg), zinc (II) (0.31 μg – 0.92 μg), and phenol (0.3 μg – 0.99 μg).
