Abstract
rinking water is a basic need for humans because most of the human body consists of water. Along with the development of people^s needs for drinking water which is getting higher and the development of free markets and competition in the business world, currently many refill drinking water depots have sprung up in Indonesia, especially in Denpasar City. These refill drinking water depots are usually managed on a small scale, but the impact is quite large. This refill business activity has taken a market share of bottled drinking water (AMDK) as much as 10% and involves 2000 points of sale. The rise of refill drinking water depots in Denpasar is currently very helpful for the community to meet their drinking water needs. This is because the price of refilled drinking water is considered much cheaper than bottled drinking water (AMDK). Refill drinking water that is not in accordance with drinking water quality standards will have an adverse impact on the body in the short and long term. With many refill drinking water depots whose water production is not in accordance with existing water quality standards, this means that one of the rights of consumers to obtain decent goods is not being fulfilled. Therefore, strict supervision is needed on the refill drinking water depot business, so that in its implementation it can meet the drinking water quality standards that have been determined by existing laws and regulations.
