This study aims to (1) Analyze the existing conditions of the clean water infrastructure of Luwuk District, (2) Evaluate the performance of the clean water infrastructure of Luwuk District. The object of research is the PDAM clean water infrastructure. The results showed that the physical condition and performance of the WTP Keles clean water infrastructure was not good while in Mangkio was quite good.
