    This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of water refilling station owners regarding proper procedures, assess compliance with testing and permits, and determine product water quality. A knowledge exam was administered to owners who participated in certification courses from 2005 to 2009, with 71.8% passing. The study found that 78.9% of stations were non-compliant with regulations regarding testing, permits, and water quality standards. While most samples met microbiological standards, 16.9% exceeded limits. Lack of an updated permit, an indicator of quality, contributed to non-compliance. Operators of only one year after certification were less compliant than those of two to five years.

    Objectives. This study aimed to a) evaluate the knowledge of water refilling station (WRS) owners and operators
    regarding the proper techniques and procedures applicable to WRS based on the Certification Course for Water
    Refilling Station and Plan Operators (CCWRSPO); b) assess compliance to regular physical-chemical and
    microbiological testing of product water and sanitary permit acquisition and c) determine the quality of product water of
    selected water refilling stations (WRS) in a municipality in Cavite.
    Methods. The study included WRS owners and operators who participated in the CCWRSPO from 2005 to 2009. A
    50-item objective examination administered by the researchers was used to evaluate the knowledge of the
    respondents. This was formulated based on the objectives of the CCWRSPO. The compliance to legal requirements
    for WRS was assessed according to the results of the physical-chemical and microbiological tests (Multiple Tube
    Fermentation Technique and Pour Plate Method) and the presence of an updated sanitary permit. Results of product
    water analyses were compared to the 2007 Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water. Water refilling
    stations that failed to meet at least one of the three legal requirements were considered as "non-compliant".
    Results and conclusion. Results showed that 71.8% of the respondents passed the written examination whereas
    28.2% obtained scores less than 50.0%. Chi-square analysis indicated that there was no significatnt difference between
    the knowledge of the trainees in 2005 to 2008 and the trainees in 2009. Similarly, majority (78.9%) of the WRS included
    in the study were found to be non-compliant with the provisions of P.D. 856 and the prescribed standards for water
    quality. The quality of product water served as an important determinant of the compliance of WRS. Although majority
    of the water samples tested had acceptable microbiological examination results, 16.9% of the samples exceeded the
    standards for microbiological water quality. Aside from this, the non-compliance of WRS was attributed to the absence
    of an updated sanitary permit, which was one of the important indicators product water quality. Chi-square analysis
    showed that the trainees who have been operating WRS for only a year after the certification course were less compliant
    as compared to those operating for two to five years.
