This study aims to conduct inspections on the quality of the drinking water area at PDAM Tirta Musi Palembang. Method : This research uses crossectional design. Done with the examination of a number of laboratory. Result : Based on the results of the research note that the chemical parameters indicate that residue chlor level of 0,1-0,2 mg/l, nitrite level of 0,001-0,002 mg/l, ammonia content of 0,05-0,1 mg/l, iron content 0 mg/l, mangan content of 0 mg/l, pH of 6,45-7,01 and carbon dioxide content of 3,52-6,16 mg/l. Physical parameters indicate that the temperature level of 27,7-29,4 °C, turbidity level of 0,53-0,94 NTU, not smelly and does not odour, TDS level of 36-42,1 mg/l, conductivity level of 76, 7-84,3 mS/m. Bacteriological parameters shows total E.Coli 0 by 100 ml sample.
