【 摘 要 】

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of water distributed in the city of Juara-MT as the physico-chemical parameters and total and fecal coliforms. It was selected 20 locations between residences and commercial establishments that best characterized the urban area of the city for the analysis and comparison of the parameters of pH, color, turbidity, fluorine, chlorine residual and total and fecal coliforms. The results were compared with the limits established by the Ministério da Saúde and also with the Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA). We have not detected any traces of total coliforms. Color, pH, turbidity and chlorine residual levels were within the legal limits established. The suitable values of fluorine were not achieved in some samples. The results showed that the water used by the residents on the dates of collection was within acceptable limits for human consumption, except for the amount of fluorine in some samples.
