Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the levels of physical parameters from some selected dumpsites in Port Harcourt metropolis. The study of water bacteriology was to establish a trend with the other physicochemical parameters. Leachates from the 3-selected dumpsites were analyzed and compared with the seasons, controls and established standards using descriptive and analytical designs. Integrated samples were collected during both wet and dry seasons and analyzed for TCB, THB, and THF. The use of 2-way ANOVA, t-test, graphs and mean variation were applied to explain trend and variations. The results show that there was no significant difference in temporal dimension (seasonally) but high-level spatial variation (stations) in most parameters.
