ABSTRACT: Sewage discharges are a major component of water pollution, contributing to oxygen demand and nutrient loading of the water bodies, promoting toxic algal blooms and leading to a destabilized aquatic ecosystem. The problem is compounded in areas where wastewater treatment systems are simple and not efficient. This study reports the levels of pH, conductivity, COD, nitrates, phosphates, ammonium-N in the sewage wastewater
