Abstract

Considering that water supply and sanitation are closely related to health, measures have been taken in order to promote universal access to these services.

To quantify the coverage of water supply and sanitation in Foz do Iguaçu, PR, the correlated data were obtained through the NHIS for 2008 and 2013. In addition, population estimates from IBGE was used in the same years, to evaluate how well the servisse works. The water supply in 2008 only served the urban area of the city. However, in 2013, all population had access to treated water and, even with a 17,44% reduction of the population estimates, a water consumption increase of1.58% was observed.
