The global dilemma of accessing clean and safe drinking water persists, especially in underdeveloped communities. This study evaluated the electrical conductivity (EC) of bottled and sachet water samples collected from various points of sale within the Ekwuluobia community. Using a water quality meter, EC values were measured to assess the concentration of dissolved ions and minerals, which directly impact water quality and safety. Bottled water samples exhibited higher EC values, ranging from 146 µS/cm to 160 µS/cm, while sachet water samples had lower EC values, ranging from 130 µS/cm to 139 µS/cm. The study identified significant differences in EC levels between different brands of bottled water and sachet water producers, with bottled water consistently showing higher mineral content. These elevated levels could pose potential health risks, particularly with prolonged consumption. The findings underscore the need for stricter regulatory oversight of sachet water, which may not meet
