The results of cadmium levels obtained (0.00001 mg/L) meet the requirements for clean water quality according to PERMENKES No. 416 of 1990 (0.005 mg/L), while lead levels in the first and second samples meet the requirements for clean water quality (<0.05 mg/L), while in the third sample, the lead level obtained was 0.0527 mg/L, which exceeds the amount required for clean water quality (0.05 mg/L).
