<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Depot Air Minum (DAM) merupakan salah satu penyedia utama air minum masyarakat. Namun demikian, masih banyak DAM yang belum memenuhi persyaratan higiene sanitasi sehingga berpotensi meningkatkan risiko penyakit berbasis air. Di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Plumbon Gambang Kabupaten Jombang, seluruh DAM belum memiliki Sertifikat Laik Higiene Sanitasi dan masih ditemukan kontaminasi Escherichia coli serta Coliform, sehingga diperlukan upaya peningkatan kapasitas pengelola. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas pengelola DAM dalam menerapkan higiene sanitasi sesuai Permenkes Nomor 2 Tahun 2023. Pengabdian menggunakan pendekatan edukatif-partisipatif melalui penyuluhan, pelatihan, demonstrasi, pendampingan, monitoring dan evaluasi terhadap 20 pengelola DAM. Evaluasi menggunakan desain one group pre-test–post-test. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Paired Samples t-test. Setelah intervensi, nilai rata-rata pengetahuan peserta meningkat dari 47,80 ± 15,07 menjadi 78,80 ± 10,76. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan (p 0,001). Monitoring dua bulan pasca pelatihan menunjukkan sebagian besar depot telah menerapkan higiene sanitasi, personal hygiene operator, serta pemeliharaan instalasi dengan lebih baik. Namun sekitar 30% depot masih memerlukan pendampingan lanjutan akibat pergantian operator dan belum optimalnya implementasi prosedur operasional. Pelatihan dan pendampingan teknis efektif untuk meningkatkan kapasitas pengelola DAM dalam menerapkan higiene sanitasi dan pemeliharaan instalasi sesuai Permenkes Nomor 2 Tahun 2023. Pendekatan penyuluhan yang dipadukan dengan pendampingan efektif meningkatkan kapasitas pengelola DAM dan dapat dijadikan model pembinaan oleh Puskesmas Kata Kunci: Depot Air Minum, Higiene Sanitasi, Kualitas Air Minum, Penyuluhan, Pengabdian Masyarakat. ABSTRACT Refill Drinking Water Depots (RDWDs) are one of the primary sources of drinking water for communities in Indonesia. However, many depots still fail to comply with hygiene and sanitation standards, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. In the working area of Plumbon Gambang Primary Health Center, Jombang Regency, none of the refill drinking water depots had obtained a Hygiene and Sanitation Eligibility Certificate, and microbiological examinations revealed contamination with Escherichia coli and Total Coliform. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of depot operators is essential to improve drinking water safety. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of refill drinking water depot operators in implementing hygiene and sanitation practices in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2023. A participatory educational approach was employed through health education sessions, technical training, demonstrations, on-site mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation involving 20 refill drinking water depot operators. Program effectiveness was assessed using a one-group pre-test–post-test design. Participants' knowledge was measured before and after the intervention, and the data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test. The mean knowledge score significantly increased from 47.80 ± 15.07 before the intervention to 78.80 ± 10.76 after the intervention. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' knowledge (p .001). Follow-up monitoring conducted two months after the training indicated that most depots had improved their implementation of hygiene and sanitation practices, operator personal hygiene, and routine maintenance of water treatment facilities. Nevertheless, approximately 30% of the depots still required additional technical assistance due to operator turnover and inconsistent implementation of standard operating procedures. Educational interventions integrated with technical training and continuous mentoring effectively improved the capacity of refill drinking water depot operators to implement hygiene and sanitation practices and maintain water treatment facilities in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 2 of 2023. This integrated capacity-building model has the potential to be adopted by Primary Health Centers as a sustainable strategy for strengthening hygiene and sanitation management and improving drinking water safety.
