INSPECTION OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY ON THE REGIONAL PREPARATION OF ZONA AIR MINUM PRIMA (ZAMP) PDAM TIRTA MUSI PALEMBANG

Abstract

Background : Public access to water with quality ready to drink increased. This is important because the water borne disease can arise due to the water quality does not meet health requirements. This study aims to conduct inspections on the quality of the drinking water area at PDAM Tirta Musi Palembang.

Method : This research uses crossectional design. Done with the examination of a number of laboratory. Result : Based on the results of the research note that the chemical parameters indicate that residue chlor level of 0,1-0,2 mg/l, nitrite level of 0,001-0,002 mg/l, ammonia content of 0,05-0,1 mg/l, iron content 0 mg/l, mangan content of 0 mg/l, pH of 6,45-7,01 and carbon dioxide content of 3,52-6,16 mg/l. Physical parameters indicate that the  temperature level of 27,7-29,4 °C, turbidity level of 0,53-0,94 NTU, not smelly and does not odour, TDS level of 36-42,1 mg/l, conductivity level of 76, 7-84,3 mS/m. Bacteriological parameters shows total E.Coli 0 by 100 ml sample.

Conclusion : Based on this research conclude that water is distributed on the regional preparation of ZAMP PDAM Tirta Musi (prime water drinking zone) meet health requirements and can be drunk directly. Recommended to maintain the quality of drinking water and complete the repair of pipes network.
