Consequently, that caution to scrutinize and prioritize the utilization of every drop of water have become a mainstay. This research is concern with the prevalence of some water-borne diseases in some coastal communities along the River Nun axis of Bayelsa State. Data acquisition was through a randomized structured questionnaire, and existing PHC facilities. Based on preferred sources of water, the use of borehole water recorded the highest frequency (45.79%), while shallow-dug pit water recorded the lowest frequency (15.93%) with significance (p<0.05). River (20.52%) and Rain water (18.29%) was statistically related (p>0.05). The Water Borne Diseases (WBDs) were typhoid (37.85%), malaria (32.11%), Cholera (20.56 %) and shigellosis (10.06%). With the exception of malaria and typhoid the prevalence of WBDs was statistically significant (p<0.05). This result is an indication that there is an anthropogenic contamination of community source of water. This is a cause for public health interventions and community-based sensitization on the dangers of this diseases and aseptic use of water.
