Fund allocation of 7 health centers is from the Pekanbaru City Health Office. The facilities and infrastructure of the WWTP (Water Waste Treatment Plan) health center have suffered a lot of damage such as sewerage, control tubs and WWTP machine cables. The wastewater treatment method used is biologically (bacteriology) mixed with chlorine and oxidation reduction. The liquid waste treatment of health centers in the city of Pekanbaru has not been effective. Only 1 health center that can be analyzed is the quality of WWTP with BOD results of 2.35 mg / L COD 100 mg / L, TSS 8 mg / L, temperature 31oC and pH 7.51. These results indicate that the COD parameter exceeds the specified quality standard of 80 mg / L. The results of interviews with the community around the health center indicate aspects of the community around the health center in the city of Pekanbaru. This is because soil and water pollution due to liquid waste cannot be directly felt, but requires a relatively long time.
