Refill drinking water depot is a business entity engaged in the management of
drinking water to meet community needs. Not all depots are managed properly,
especially regarding the quality of drinking water that is safe for health. The
purpose of this study was to determine the content of heavy metals and
concentration of Pb, Cd, and Hg as well as to determine the quality of refill
drinking water obtained from refill drinking water depots located in Tangen
District based on PERMENKES Number 492/MENKES/Per/IV /2010.
The method used for sample analysis is atomic absorption spectroscopy. The
parameters of this research are physical parameters which include: smell, taste,
and temperature. Meanwhile, the chemical parameters are pH, metal Pb, Cd, and
Hg. Refill drinking water is obtained from three places in Tangen District
(Location I, II, and III).
The results showed that the physical and chemical parameters in the form of pH
met the standards for the three locations. Pb parameter that exceeds the standard
of drinking water quality originating from locations I, II, and III were 0,35 mg/L;
0,17 mg/L; and 0,05 mg/L respectively. Cd parameter has met drinking water
quality standards. Hg parameter obtained from location I exceeds the standard
with the value of 0,0024 mg/L and for locations II and III have met drinking water
quality standards based on PERMENKES Number 492/MENKES/Per/IV /2010.
