Abstract

Drinking water is water that meets health standards and can be consumed directly. The demand for drinking water is increasing, but the challenge of water pollution is reducing the availability of clean water sources. Refill water depots have become an alternative, but their quality needs to be maintained to ensure public safety. The aim of this study is to analyze the microbiological quality of refill drinking water in Padang City. This research used a descriptive cross-sectional method with the CFU method for analyzing Total Coliform and E. coli. The results show that the majority of refill drinking water in Padang City does not meet the quality standards (0 CFU/100 ml). Out of 12 depots tested, 41.67 % depots significantly exceeded the standards, with Total Coliform reaching and E. coli > 0 CFU/100 ml. The conclusion of this study is that most refill drinking water depots in Padang City do not meet quality standards and contain E. coli and Total Coliform. It is recommended that refill water depots improve cleanliness, sanitation, equipment maintenance, and conduct routine testing to ensure water quality meets the standards. The government should strengthen monitoring and conduct periodic evaluations.

Abstract

Rivers play an important role in supporting people's lives. However, poor river water quality due to pollution has a significant impact on the survival of coastal communities and the condition of the surrounding environment. To overcome water pollution, it is important to implement stricter regulations that are regulated in Law no. 32 of 2009 supplemented by Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021. The research carried out was quantitative descriptive in nature, highlighting the impact on the water quality of the Batang Arau river from examining BOD, COD and TSS, which are river water pollution parameters. The research results show that in 2023, the results of examining COD parameters in the upstream river area will exceed the set quality standard limit, namely 25 mg/L. The recorded value reached 87.3 mg/L, which indicates the presence of very high levels of organic chemicals in these waters. In 2024, inspection results show significant improvements in the water quality of the Batang Arau River. It was concluded that the water quality of the Batang Arau river shows a positive trend. The pollution conditions that occurred in 2023, especially in the COD and BOD parameters in the upstream river, have been successfully improved by 2024. This shows the success of efforts to improve environmental quality carried out in the river area.
