Water sampling was repeated 9 times infour-day sampling period. The data obtained were tested by analysis of variance and continued with least significant difference test. The results showed that total bacteria in chicken drinking pot(389,78 CFU / ml) was higher than in springs (247,89 CFU / ml), and shelter (171,33 CFU / ml). Its concluded that bacterial contamination occurred along the water flow.
