Abstract

One of the important ways of disease transfer to human is contaminated rater. The literature indicated that in urban societies, the drinking water has associated with diseases epidemics such as Ultor. Today, with regard the extensive use of urban drinking water distribution system, the quality control of water supply will be indispensable. Therefore this research was aimed to determine the microbial pollution of KERMANSHAH drinking water distribution system during 1998-99. The type of research was descriptive. The water samples were taken based on one sample in each month per 5000 no. of population and classified according to Iranian drinking water standard. The samples were obtained from 20 centers of drinking water supply system throughout the city. The microbial tests were as probable and complementary diagnostic ones. by definition, the disinfected water which enters the distribution system should have MPN=0, otherwise it's considered as undesirable or contaminated. The results presented by descriptive statistics.In total, the some of 3087 samples (in 1998) and 3092 ones (in 1999) were selected from KERMANSHAH drinking water distribution system in accordance to standard method. The laboratory findings suggested the presence of Escherichia Coil, enterobacter, citerobacter, klebciella and psoudomonas in contaminated samples. The no of contaminated samples were 85 and 86 during the years 1998 and 1999, respectively. The mean amounts of microbial contamination in the water suply system were 2.7% (in 1998) and 2.2% (in 1999). The most contaminated months were Shahrivar (7.2%) in 1998 and Khordad (5.6%) in 1999. The permanent contamination in different points of the urban drinking water distribution system and presence of thermophilic COLIFORMs demonstrated the fecal contaminations in KERMANSHAH drinking water distribution system. Most of the contaminated samples were concerned to the older parts of the water supply network which was probably caused by the defects (decays or breaks and pressure losses) in the system. Consequently it is proposed to eliminate or rednce the contamination by repairing and reconstructing the older drinking water distribution system.
