This study aimed to determine the number of microbes and identify Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. on the water that was used to wash tableware by street vendors around UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Water samples before and after being used to wash tableware were obtained from 4 street vendors. The number of microbes in the sample was tested by the Total Plate Count (TPC) and Most Probable Number (MPN) methods, Escherichia coli was identified using Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMB) media, and Salmonella sp. was identified using Salmonella-Shigella agar (SSA) and Triple Sugar Iron agar (TSIA) media. Based on the results of TPC test, the water sample before being used to wash tableware had the lowest and highest values that were 3.0 x 102 Cfu/ml and 9.8 x 105 Cfu/ml, respectively, while the water sample after being used to wash tableware had the lowest and highest values that were 4.0 x 102 Cfu/ml and 3.5 x 105 Cfu/ml, respectively. In the MPN test, the water sample before being used to wash tableware had the lowest and highest values that were 15/100ml and 26 100/ml, respectively, while the water sample after being used to wash tableware had the lowest and highest values that were 72/100 ml and 271/ 100 ml, respectively.
