The number of samples for this study was two samples of raw material water (A) and water after going through the processing stage (B) and employees at CV KIC. The method used in this examination is the Most Probable Number (MPN). The research data were analyzed univariately. The results showed that the content of coliform bacteria showed that sample A was classified as fulfilling the requirements and sample B was classified as not fulfilling the requirements of Permenkes No. 2 of 2023.
