The clean water quality must meet the requirements of Health Ministry Regulation No. 416 years 1990 to avoid health problems. Purpose of this study is analysis water quality of Drill Well Water for parameters pH, hardness and Iron (Fe)that used by residents in Samarinda especially on Jl. Gerilya, Gg. Sepakat, RT. 101. Research method used is field observation, taking drill well water samples and conducting analysis in the laboratory.
