Water is an essential resource that directly affects public health. In the context of global change and population growth, water resources face increasing threats of pollution and reduced availability. This issue is particularly relevant for the city of Turkestan in Kazakhstan, where the quality of drinking water is under continuous monitoring. This study focuses on assessing the microbiological parameters of water from public sources in the city, with an emphasis on identifying contamination levels and potential health risks. Special attention is given to detecting microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Coliform bacteria, which serve as indicators of fecal contamination. The importance of this research lies in the need for effective methods of analysis and monitoring of drinking water quality to ensure compliance with sanitary and hygiene standards and to protect public health. The results highlight the necessity for strengthened water quality control in public areas and for implementing measures to prevent contamination and improve the overall state of water supply.
