| Summary: | Drinking water is one of the sources of microbial pathogens that cause
diseases in human. Nowadays, drinking water sector in developing countries are
still dependent only on the examination result of final product quality. With the
possibility of contamination in drinking water starting from starting point (raw
water intake)until its consumption by human, it is not enough to just referring the
overall drinking water quality on the final product quality. One of the solutions to
this problem is Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) method. This
study aims to determine the quality of drinking water in households by calculating
the number of coliform bacteria and fecal coli in the raw water of drinking water,
water treatment effluent, and drinking water that are ready to be consumed in the
household, and also to know the correlation between the quality of drinking water
in households with the residents health. Examination of coliform and fecal coli
bacteria used the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. Among 7 water samples
from the water refill depots in Kelurahan Cicadas, 4 of them were contaminated
with coliform bacteria and 3 of them were contaminated with fecal coliform in the
average MPN/100 ml value 30 and 17. The examination results of drinking water
samples in household level showed the average MPN/100 ml value of coliform
and fecal coli reached 46 and 36 for refill water, and 443 and 405 for cooked
water tap. These results showed that although drinking water has been treated
and processed, there are still risks of it being contaminated by coliform and fecal
coli in the household level.With fecal coli as indicator in the occurrence of
diarrhea case, calculation shows that the infection probability is 1.2 x 10-6 for
refill water and 1.4 x 10-5 for tap water. |
