There is still 4.65% of unsuitable drinking water in Padang City. The research aims to analyze the provision of drinking water in the urban slum areas of Padang City. Method: This type of research is qualitative and was carried out in January–August 2023 in four locations in the slum areas of Padang City. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, document review, and observation. There were 14 research informants using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis uses triangulation methods and reference materials.Result: Based on research, there are obstacles to providing drinking water. The problem is that there is no specific policy that regulates the provision of drinking water in slum areas, and the responsibility of every human resource from each agency is not yet focused on providing drinking water in slum areas. The implementation of drinking water provision has not been running optimally due to the lack of funding for house connections to the community, and the facilities and infrastructure provided are not sufficient for the community in the urban slum areas of Padang City.Conclusion: The provision of drinking water in slum areas has not reached the national target. It is recommended that each agency coordinate and empower the community to participate more in the implementation of drinking water supply in the urban slum areas of Padang City.
