This study is survey study cross-sectional research. To study the water sanitation practices of people and the bacteriological quality of water in Xaychamphone district, Bolikhamxay province, Lao PDR, Amount 314 households, tools for an interview, survey, record, and test kit for coliform in water (DOH. 11). The results showed that the supply of drinking water is the heads of households 57.32%. taking time to go back and forth from the house to find the water source in average 4.69±5.80 minutes, The main source is mountain water supply was 90.13 %, using a pipeline-based water transport method from the public water tab was 57.01 %, 93.63 % with an improvement in drinking water quality by boiling. In the water sanitation practices of the household (full score of 15) was moderate 63.69%, mean 10.17± 0.68. Monitoring the bacterial water quality of the water source used by the public to consume as a mountain water supply is 100 percent of bacterial coliform contamination was found. Samples of household drinking water were found 87.90 percent of coliform bacteria. The relationship between water sanitation practices of the household and status of water sanitation household with coliform contamination in drinking water was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05)
