In the present study, the activity concentrations of radon were measured in twenty seven (27) water samples collected from Villy, a village of west central region which presents uranium anomalies. The associated radiological hazards were then assessed. The radon activity concentrations were in the range of 5.77±0.74 to 441.76±4.45 Bq/L with an average of 157.31±2.30 Bq/L. The lower detection limit of the instrument SARAD EQF 3200 is 0.106 Bq/L. The average total annual effective dose due to radon was 1.06 mSv/y with the range of 39 µSv/y to 2.99 mSv/y. 70.37 % of the measured radon concentrations are found to be higher than 100 Bq.L-1, the reference levels of WHO and EU but were lower than the EU action level of 1000 Bq/L. Accordingly, it does not pose any significant health hazards to the populace of Villy.
