Standards aim to limit the transmission of the infectious disease rough drinking water. To determine that the drinking water is safe and comply with the standards, information about the changes of the physicochemical parameters that occur during distribution was assessed in Souk Ahras city/Algeria. For this purpose, several samples from distribution network were taken at the consumer’s tap during the spring and summer period of 2017/2018. The obtained values of each parameter of the 14 original physicochemical were compared with the standard values set by Algeria standards. The results showed that concentration levels of chlorine free, temperature, magnesium, turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, calcium exceeded the limits of Algeria standards in certain districts, while, pH, conductivity, sulfate, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, ammonium and nitrite were well within the limits. Signs of the presence of harmful germs and probably malfunctions in part of the equipment of the treatment processing and distribution facilities were detected.
