Summary/Abstract: Research was done to assess the occurrence of bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa in public utility surface water and artesian wells in the city area of Cracow (Poland). Samples were collected once in the summer and once in winter 2012 for each of the selected locations. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found at two public bathing beaches, it was not found in potable water. The contamination discovered was sampling time-dependent, revealing seasonal variations.
