11 The minimal quantity of sample of drinking water in the supply of bottled drinking water and/or refilled bottle is as follows : - Raw water is examined minimally one sample every three months - Bottled water is examined minimally two samples every month. (2) Examination of chemical quality : The minimal quantity of sample of drinking water is as follows : - 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

12 (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.

13 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. Volume, Production of water/m3/year/branch Test for monitoring disinfectants in every reservoir/station of chlorination (1) (3) Minimal routine test in pipeline Test for every reservoir minimally once per week Minimal test for raw water minimally twice per year, by season < M3 Chlor remainder = minimally 1X per day > M3 Chlor remainder = minimally 1 x per day 1. ph = 1X per week 1. ph 1. Total/Fecal coli 2. DHL = 1X per year 2. DHL 2. DO 3. Turbidity 1 X per year 3. Alkalinity 3. Organic substance (KmnO4) 4. Organoleptic 1X per 4. Total hardness 4. Alkalinity day 5. Chlor remainder 1 x per day (in the furthest 5. CO2 5. Total hardness (mg/l CaCo3) point) 6. Temperature 6. PH 7. Fe & Manganese, if problem comes 7. CO2 8. Temperature 1. ph 1. ph 9. DHL 2. DHL 2. DHL 10. Fe, Manganese in problem 3. Turbidity 3. Alkalinity 4. Total 4. Total hardness coliforms/e.coli 5. Chlor remainder/orp 5. CO2 (2) (No. comes 1 up to No. 5 = 1 smp/ M3) 6. Al 1X per month (if Al is used as floculant) 6. Temperature 7. Fe & Manganese, if problems comes 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.

14 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. THE MINISTER OF HEALTH sgd. Dr. ACHMAD SUJUDI
