| In this study, the presence of Entamoeba histolytica cysts was investigated in ten wells for consumption in Hawler city, ten percent were positive for E. histolytica The presence of total coliform and Escherichia coli was investigated in 158 wells for consumption in Hawler city. Of 158 study wells, more than eighteen percent were positive for total coliform, more than three percent were positive for E. coli. High Positive rank correlation coefficient was found between total coliform and E. coli. There was no statistically significant difference between the quarters of Hawler city when comparing the E. coli concentrations. Therefore, it was possible to notice that the septic tanks were located close to the wells, exposing them to risk of contamination.
