The morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia due to diarrhea are still high. Diarrhea can be transmitted through water which is the main media in the transmission of diarrhea. In addition to food and disease vectors, diarrhea can occur if someone consumes drinking water that has been contaminated from its source or polluted during the distribution process to the house. This study aims to determine the relationship between bacteriological quality of drilled well water and the incidence of diarrhea in families. This was an analytic survey study, with cross sectional approach. The populations were the heads of the families who had a drilled well in the family at Wotgali Village as many as 25 people. The sampling technique used total sample method. Data were obtained directly by observation and interview. Secondary data were obtained from Plered Community Health Center in Plered Subdistrict regarding the occurrence of diarrhea, data from the PSDAP Office on the bacteriological quality of drilled well water and population data were obtained from the Wotgali Village office. Analysis of study data included the bacteriological quality of drilled well water that had been examined in the laboratory and compared with the Regulation of Health Minister No.416 Year 1990, and the incidence of diarrhea. Bacteriological quality of drilled well water variable and the incidence of diarrhea variable were analysed using the exact fisher test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that 17 (85.0%) drilled well did not meet the requirements in the Regulation of Health Minister no.416 Year 1990 regarding bacteriological quality of wellbore water, namely the existence of Escherichia coli. 17 families (68.0%) families had diarrhea in the last 3 months. Fisher exact test result obtained a p-value of 0.001 (0.001 <0.05) so that there was a relationship between the bacteriological qulity of drilled well water and the incidence of diarrhea in families at Wotgali Village, Plered Subdistrict, Cirebon District in 2016.
