This study aims to determine whether the analyzed clean water meets the quality standard requirements set by PERMENKES RI No. 492 of 2010. The parameters measured in this study were pH, odor, temperature, color (in-situ testing) as well as iron and hardness which were tested ex-situ using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and Complexometric Titration. The results of this study are the springs on the S. Parman road for the parameters of pH, color, hardness, and iron, respectively 8.26 pH; colorless; 120 mg/L; and 0.129 mg/L, where the results met the requirements but for the odor (fishy) and temperature (36oC) parameters did not meet the quality standards.
