| Abstract | One of the prerequisites for maintaining the health of the community is the use of safe drinking water (1). So, water is very important for human activity (2). In recent decades, industrialization, mechanization of agricultural activities and population growth, etc., is among the factors that pollute drinking water (3). Various diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, etc. can create by polluted drinking water (4). Overall, contaminated water due to the degradation of water quality and can threaten the human health and disturb the balance of the ecosystem (2,5). Water suppliers are responsible for providing safe water to the community use. Various tools are available to ensure the safety of water supply systems, including the hazard analysis critical control (HACCP), qualitative microbial risk assessment A-R-T-I-C-L-EI-N-F-O A-B-S-T-R-A-C-T Article Notes: Received: Sep 13, 2018 Received in revised form: Feb 24, 2019 Accepted: Feb 28, 2019 Available Online: Marc 14, 2019 Background & Aims of the Study: There are several methods for determining the water supply system safety, including the WSP program that recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
