While the number of bacteria using the MPN (Most Probable Number) method of Coliform bacteria, the results were the number of bacteria> 2400 MPN / ml in samples A, C, and D and in sample B amounted to 58 MPN / ml (Saputro, 2019). Results on samples A1 20 / ml, A2 0 / ml, A3 0 / ml, A4 240 / ml, and A5 10 / ml (Susanti & Aprilliyani, 2018).
