Turbidity, electrical conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH was measured in the water received from the network water. Biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, total alkalinity, chloride, carbonate, bicarbonate, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphorus, zinc, copper, nickel, cobalt, cyanide, fluoride, aluminum, iron, potassium, manganese, molybdenum and microbiological analyzes were analyzed at a laboratuary.
