For this purpose, samples were collected every month for 9 months, turbidity, pH, free residual chlorine measuring was cundacted at the sampling time and testing for total coliform, E.coli coliform and counting of hetrotrophic organisms in the laboratory of water and wastewater was performed. data analyzed by using Excel and SPSS software.

Results:The results showed a total of 315 analysed the measuring parameters chlorine, pH, turbidity , respectively were 88.9 percent, 90.8 and 100 percent in standard range and 9.2 %, 11.1 non-standard were reported, and the negative total coliform and heterotrophic were reported 95% and 99% respectively.
