Background: Water is essential for all living beings including human. Supply of water should fulfill criteria of quantity and quality, which means that water should be clean and be available in adequate amount, and able to meet health requirements in term of its physical, chemical, bacteriological, and radioactive properties in order to prevent its consumer from having health problems. Objectives: Tonstudy the water quality of dug wells in Bagan Pete administrative. Method : This research was observational with cross sectional design. Data collection was conducted by checklist, observation, and sampling of water. Data obtained from the survey and results of laboratory examination were analysed in univariate and bivariate manner using Chi-Square and logistic regression methods, respectively. Results: The result of the research showed that, significant correlations were found between distance of septictank with wells (p value = 0.000), wells construction (p value=0.001) with Escherichia coli. Distance of septictank (p value = 1.000), wells construction (p value = 0.225) showed no correlation with ferrum content. Descriptively, it was found that distance of septictank with wells was poor (50.9%), wells construction was also poor in 56.6% subjects, while multivariate analysis obtained distance of septictank as the most influential variable for the existence of Escherichia coli. Conclusion: Correlation was found between distance of septictank with well and wells construction with Escherichia coli and no correlation was found between distance of septictank with well and well construction with ferrum content in dug well water in this area. Suggestion: Promotion by Health Office about clean water facilities and maintenance of clean water facilities to prevent contamination of clean water source, and improvement in water quality.
