ABSTRACT

Sewage pollution results from multiple sources: leaks from sewage systems, incorrect connections, sewer overflows, and sewage leaks through cracked pipes by filtration as well as illegal connections.
Material and methods. A descriptive, observational study was carried out. PH and water chlorination were measured, rapid Pur Test^® Home Water Analysis tests and Testlab^® reagents were used to know the physicochemical aspects of the sample water. Culture of water was made using the PurTest^® Home Water Analysis transport medium. Samples were taken in the municipalities of Lerma, Timilpan, Toluca and Metepec.
Results. The alkaline PH predominated in the sampled sites and there was no residual chlorine data. There was bacterial contamination in three of the four sites sampled.
Conclusion. In the sampled sites the purification was inadequate. Water purification through chlorination is paramount in all regions, chlorine is a relatively inexpensive and easily applied element.
