Keywords:
Microbiology, Sanitation, Public Health.Abstract
Drinking water is so named because it does not contain pathogenic microorganisms, and should be free of bacteria indicative of fecal contamination. It is estimated that currently one billion people need access to adequate and sufficient drinking water. The lack of sanitation is one of the main factors responsible for the contamination of water, representing one of the greatest risks to Public Health, since it can transmit countless diseases to the population. One of the main routes of contamination of infectious agents is contaminated water, which in turn causes several diseases, such as typhoid, polio, hepatitis A and B and diarrheal diseases. At the outset, our main objective was to evaluate the water treatment process of Ribeirão João Leite at the Jaime Câmara Station under the operation of the SANEAGO / SA concessionaire in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, based on microbiological analyzes for total coliforms and Escherichia coli. A total of 4032 samples were collected, of which 520 were performed at the exit of the treatment and 3,512 in the distribution network. Microbiological analyzes were performed using the Multiple Tube Methods and the Chromogenic Substrate Method, all data were submitted to statistical tests using the Exel program. The results of the analyzes were within the standards, satisfying the parameters of Ministerial Order No. 2914/11 of the Ministry of Health, which provide for the control procedures and monitoring of water quality for human consumption and its drinking water standard.
