Abstract	Water quality is a crucial factor affecting public health, agriculture, and overall community well-being. This study evaluates the physicochemical and microbial properties of drinking water in different areas of Garividi mandal, Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh, to determine its suitability for consumption. The analysis included temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, alkalinity, and microbial contamination. Results indicate that all parameters comply with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS, 2012), confirming the safety of the water. The microbial assay showed the absence of coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), fungi, and pathogenic bacteria, ensuring that the water does not pose a health risk. Regular monitoring and preventive measures are recommended to maintain long-term water quality.
