In this research, an assessment was made of the quality Index of drinking water packed in plastic containers produced by private laboratories and their conformity with the standard specifications of bottled drinking water, where tests were conducted (18) samples from different community stations, where the research included conducting chemical, physical and bacteriological examinations of these samples at a rate of 18 A station which is (North Spring, Al-Gomhouri, Filter Device, Al-Haidari Water, Raindrops, Diwaniyah, Al-Rawafid, The Springs, Taiba, Al-Jumhori District, Al-Asri District, Filter Device, Al-Rahma, Al-Daghara, Zayouna, The Pearl, Al-Wafr ).

As for the physiochemical tests, which included electrical conduction (EC), pH, total base, Total Alkaline, Total Hardens, Chlorides, Temperature (Tem), TDS, turbidity, calcium and calcium hardness. We find that some stations were not in compliance with the standard specifications of bottled water, which leads to damage to health and the emergence of some diseases, including intestinal inflammation in children, bladder cancer and other diseases
