A water quality monitoring system for monitoring the quality of water distributed by a water distribution system that includes water purifying facilities to purify raw water taken in from rivers, lakes, and/or wells to a quality suitable for drinking water, water distribution facilities for distributing the water purified by said water purifying facilities, a water quality control center for monitoring and controlling said water purifying facilities and said water distribution facilities, and a water distribution piping network for feeding the purified water to end users, said water quality monitoring system comprising:

• water quality monitoring meters sized and configured for attachment to pipes so as to draw water out of pipes prior to its supply to end users set at predetermined locations in said water distribution piping network, each of said water quality monitoring meters including a plurality of analyzing units each of, which includes a measurement flow path in which liquid flows, for introducing a water sample into said measurement flow path from said location on said pipe and analyzing said water sample;
• a liquid introducing unit comprising a single member in which a plurality of fluid flow paths for feeding a plurality of types of liquid including said water sample into said plurality of analyzing units is formed;
• and a transmission unit for transmitting to said control center;
• wherein results of measurements performed by each of said water quality meters are transmitted to said water quality control center via said transmission unit of said water quality meter.
