The complete analysis of drinking water samples have being carried out to understand deeply on quality of water being consumed in different areas around Ipoh and Seri Iskandar districts. The drinking water samples are taken from tab water in residential area of Ipoh, Batu Gajah, Siputeh, Seri Iskandar and Tronoh where it is used for drinking purpose and also from mineral water and reverse osmosis water. The analyses of drinking water samples of different locations are conducted to determine the physical properties and chemical properties such as temperature, pH value, turbidity, conductivity and total suspended solid (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS) and heavy metals. Heavy metals analysis is carried out to determine the concentration of different heavy metals present in the samples. There are two method of analyzing water sample which is in-situ and experimental analysis. From this study, it is shows that the entire water sample is within the safety level range set by National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS) and World Health Organization (WHO). This analysis is done to ensure the water safety level parameters according to NDWQS and also WHO.
