Wastewater irrigation may reintroduce fecal pathogens to households and cause drinking water contamination. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of wastewater irrigation on the quality of drinking water among wastewater-irrigating urban farming households. Drinking water samples from 52 households of farming communities in 19 sampling sites were collected twice at PoS and PoC. The microbial quality of the water was assessed using  E. coli  counted by membrane filtration. Samples collected from exposed households at PoC were 100% positive for  E. coli  with mean  E. coli  at PoC increased 10× from the PoS and 3× higher compared to PoC in the unexposed households. The absence of hand washing water (ATE = 8.14), water storing (ATE = 7.75) and intermittent water supply (ATE = 6.25) were significant factors for the increased  E. coli  at PoC. Breaking the path of the pathogens from the farm to the house and from PoS to PoC needsintervention.
