Abstract

Clean water is of the human rights that must be fulfilled in order to survive. Water demand is not only related to quality, but also quantity. Therefore, adequate water treatment is needed to make water fit for consumption. This research was conducted at the West Semarang SPAM Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in improving the quality of clean water treatment . The method used is using qualitative data. The results obtained from this study are that the Water Treatment Plant is very influential and has been effective in water treatment and the results of monitoring the level of turbidity of water in September showed the average turbidity of raw water was 43.07 NTU. After going through the water treatment process, the turbidity of the water decreased by an average of 42.38 NTU with an average turbidity of 0.69 NTU. The results of monitoring the level of water turbidity in October showed an average raw water turbidity of 14.59 NTU. After going through the water treatment process, the turbidity of the water decreased by an average of 13.92 NTU with an average turbidity of 0.67 NTU. The results of monitoring the pH of water in October showed the average pH of the water was 8.44, after going through the water treatment process, it changed to an average of 7.6. The results of monitoring the pH of water in October showed the average pH of the water was 7.64, after going through the water treatment process it changed to an average of 7.51. The results of the September and October water quality tests with parameters of Microbiology, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical, Chemical are in accordance with the drinking water quality standards set by PERMENKES
