The method used in this study is the MPN (Most Probable Number) method, which consists of two stages, namely the Presumptive Test and the Confirmed Test. The study results showed that samples with codes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 had an MPN value of 0/100 ml. Furthermore, samples with codes 3, 4, 9, and 10 showed an MPN value >0/100 ml. Based on the research results, samples that meet the quality of good drinking water based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2010, are samples with codes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 while samples with codes 3, 4, 9, 10 do not meet the requirements.
