The dominant coastal areas inhabited by the fishing villages are identical to slums. Slums can be seen from scattered rubbish, toilet from latrines, and the lacking of clean water quality and quantity. Problems relating to environmental sanitation in Kampung Nelayan Seberang Belawan are mainly caused by uneven distribution of clean water and the quality of clean water that is physically cloudy and has a taste. Clean water is needed in meeting the daily needs of fishing communities to drink, wash and bathe. The limited resources and distribution of clean water in which the community of fishing villages has to take a long way to get clean water and have to pay to get the clean water. The source of water which can be utilized in the form of deep wells with a depth of ± 50 m - 80 m. The well is equipped with a suction pump. Meanwhile, to improve the quality of water, was used simple a water filter tool in the form of slow sand filter with filter media such as zeolite, silica sand, gravel and activated carbon. This slow sand filter media effectively reduces Fe and Mn levels in clean water sources, especially ground water ranges from 33% - 96%.
