ABSTRACT

Water is a fundamental and indispensable constituent of the human body, with a great influence on the health of it. Therefore, it is necessary to distribute water of the highest quality to the consumers.
This work analyzes the water quality indicators from Drinking Water Treatment Plant of Bistrita, Romania. In the elaboration of this work, we used the results of the physical, chemical and bacteriological analyses, made on water samples at the inlet and outlet of the treatment plant, as well as the samples taken from points along the drinking water network of Bistrita, in the period January 2009 - July 2012.
Based on these analyses, made for water quality indicators, charts were drawn up with the variation of these indicators in time. We concluded that all parameters of water quality, distributed population, did not exceeded the maximum values permitted by current legislation on drinking water quality, both in terms of physical-chemical and bacteriological.
