ATTACHMENT III
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNAL SUPERVISION OVER THE
QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER BY DRINKING WATER SUPPLIERS
In order to guarantee the quality of drinking water which is produced, suppliers are obliged to supervise
continuously and in a sustainable manner so that the quality of the produced water is guaranteed. For the
purpose, several parameters whose frequency is independent on the volume of water produced by drinking
water suppliers through a pipeline system need to be supervised internally.

Remark :
(1) In order to ascertain the efficient chlorination process before distribution.
(2) In the case of routine examination, Chlor remainder can be replaced partly by the measuring of ORP only if
relations between chlor remainder and ORP have been proven and calibrated routinely, by sources of water.
(3) Effective if chlor is used as disinfectant, if not, sample of free chlor is replaced to become additional
fecal/total coli.
Steps to guarantee the quality of drinking water by drinking water suppliers through pipeline system are, among
others :
a) To improve and maintain the quality of water in accordance with the directives provided by health service
on the basis of results of examination.
b) To maintain pipe line networks from leakage and to make efforts to overcome water corosifity in pipeline
networks routinely.
c) To help officers of local health service supervise the quality of water by providing facility for the officers to
enter places where the supervision tasks are executed.
d) To record result of examination of every water sample, which covers intake of sample (resettlement, road,
house no, sampling point), time of sample taking, analytical results of laboratory examination, including the
applied method and deviation from parameters.
e) To send duplicate record to local health service. The file of the document is saved for five years as the
minimum.

- Raw water is examined minimally one sample every six months
- Bottled water is examined minimally two samples every three months
(3) Examination of quality of drinking water is executed in the field and laboratory of regency/city
health service or other appointed laboratories.
(4) Results of laboratory examination must be conveyed to service users, not later than 7 days in the
case of microbiological examination and 10 days in the case of examination of chemical quality.
(5) Sample of drinking water can be taken and examined anytime if necessary because of the alleged
pollution of drinking water that cause medical disturbance or extraordinary events to consumers.
(6) Parameters of water quality which are examined :
In the framework of routine supervision over the quality of drinking water by local health service,
the minimal parameters of the quality of drinking water which must be examined in laboratory are
as follows :
- Parameters directly connected with health :
a) Microbiological parameters :
(1) E. Coli
(2) Total Coliform
b) Inorganic chemical substances :
(1) Arsen
(2) Fluoride
(3) Chromium-val.6
(4) Cadmium
(5) Nitrite, as-N
(6) Nitrate, as-N
(7) Cyanida
(8) Selenium
- Parameters indirectly connected with health :
a) Physical parameters :
(1) Smell
(2) Colour
(3) Quantity of soluble solid (TDS)
(4) Turbidity
(5) Taste
(6) Temperature
b) Chemical Parameters :
(1) Aluminium
(2) Fe
(3) Hardness
(4) Chloride
(5) Manganese
(6) pH
(7) Zinc
(8) Sulphate
(9) Copper
(10) Chlor remainder
(11) Ammonia
(7) Other parameters of the quality of drinking water other than the parameters mentioned in
Attachment II can be examined if necessary, particularly because of indications of pollution by the
substances.
(8) At the beginning of operation of drinking water supply system, the minimal quantity of the
examined parameters is as contained in Attachment II point 5 of this decree and the next
examination is minimally every year and anytime if necessary.
(9) Unless the parameters mentioned in Attachment II are able to examine in regency/city laboratories,
the examination can be recommended to provincial laboratory or laboratory appointed as
recommended laboratory.
(10) Chemical substances that can be used for processing water, including other additional chemical
substances only can be used after securing recommendation from the local health service.
(11) Results of supervision over the quality of water must be reported periodically by head of local
health service to local regency/city government routinely, every three months at the minimum and
in the case of occurrence of extraordinary condition because of the decrease in the quality of
drinking water from the drinking water supply, the reporting must be direct with a copy made
available to provincial health service and the Director General.

ATTACHMENT III
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNAL SUPERVISION OVER THE
QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER BY DRINKING WATER SUPPLIERS
In order to guarantee the quality of drinking water which is produced, suppliers are obliged to supervise
continuously and in a sustainable manner so that the quality of the produced water is guaranteed. For the
purpose, several parameters whose frequency is independent on the volume of water produced by drinking
water suppliers through a pipeline system need to be supervised internally.

Remark :
(1) In order to ascertain the efficient chlorination process before distribution.
(2) In the case of routine examination, Chlor remainder can be replaced partly by the measuring of ORP only if
relations between chlor remainder and ORP have been proven and calibrated routinely, by sources of water.
(3) Effective if chlor is used as disinfectant, if not, sample of free chlor is replaced to become additional
fecal/total coli.
Steps to guarantee the quality of drinking water by drinking water suppliers through pipeline system are, among
others :
a) To improve and maintain the quality of water in accordance with the directives provided by health service
on the basis of results of examination.
b) To maintain pipe line networks from leakage and to make efforts to overcome water corosifity in pipeline
networks routinely.
c) To help officers of local health service supervise the quality of water by providing facility for the officers to
enter places where the supervision tasks are executed.
d) To record result of examination of every water sample, which covers intake of sample (resettlement, road,
house no, sampling point), time of sample taking, analytical results of laboratory examination, including the
applied method and deviation from parameters.
e) To send duplicate record to local health service. The file of the document is saved for five years as the
minimum.
