The research in the field of potable water quality is characterized by a series of parameters, which define water content from both physical and chemical point of views. They are mainly represented by: pH, conductivity and turbidimetry The aim of this paper was the monitoring of the potable water quality in Cluj - Napoca municipality, by characterizing the following quality indicators: pH, conductivity and turbidity. The study was realized during two experimental years, 2011, and 2012, and consisted from weekly prelevation of potable water from six points located in main districts of Cluj - Napoca ( the same in each experimental year ) : Zorilor, Mărăști, Grigorescu, Gheorgheni, Mănăștur, and city centre, and quantification of the pH, conductivity and turbidity in Laboratory of Environmental and Plant Protection of USAMV Cluj -Napoca.. The methods were potentiometry, conductometry, and nefelometry. The results are presented as yearly averages.
