%X This work examined the sanitary conditions and water quality standards in Moniya abattoir in Akinyele Local Government area of Oyo State, Nigeria. Samples were collected from the hand-dug well, bore hole and from strategic locations inside the stream that serves as discharge point for all the slurry from the abattoir. The samples were analysed for physico-chemical and biological parameters. The results showed that parameter like temperature 36.40C was having value outside the WHO limits as a result of microbiological activities since the samples contain high level of BOD. Higher value of iron, 3.99mgL-1 is suspected to come from blood washed into the water and leachates to underground water. There is also higher concentration of manganese, 3.73mgL-1 but this was traced to the properties of aquifer on which the abattoir is located. From the bacteria assessment, the samples were polluted with pathogenic organisms of faecal origin.
