This study is aimed at assessing urban water supply issues in Ugep urban of Yakurr local government area, Cross River State. The study is anchored firstly on identifying the various sources of water supply, secondly, identifying the various factors militating against urban water supply and thirdly discovering possible mitigation measures which are most suitable for the area under study. The major method for data collection was a fifteen item questionnaire administered to a representative sample size of 160 households, 40 from each of the four political wards in Ugep urban, the sampling techniques used were purposive, stratified and simple random sampling techniques. However, the study showed a weak positive correlation coefficient of 0.33 between distance from water source and water availability. Furthermore the study revealed that the most used source of water supply is the public stand pump/borehole, and that factors such as high cost of water bill, installation cost and poor maintenance culture, lack of skilled man-power and poor funding /exploitation of public funds are responsible for the poor performance of the Cross River State water board in the area. Conclusions were made based on finding and recommendations provided to ensure a broader access to urban water supply in an affordable rate.
