Abstract

Since the institution of the law 11.445 in 2007, also called basic sanitation law, it was required that all brazilian counties assumed a new posture about the basic sanitation situation, creating the municipal basic sanitation plans (PMSB), where it would be organized the form of regulation, of supervision, of planning and of social control, for the purpose of achieve the services universalization. Therefore, aiming to understand the difference of the basic sanitation situation bettween the North and South regions of Brazil, the municipal plans of four counties were analyzed, where two of them are from the North and two are from the South. The analysis was made through check list, where these principles were addressed: universalization, equity, integrality, intersectoriality, public services quality, basic sanitation policy, management capacity and social and governance sustainability. Therefore, the analysis of the plans showed that the difference in the basic sanitation situation bettween these two regions is caused by failures in the planning of some areas, making it necessary to rethink the planning of these areas, so the application of the municipal plan be executed correctly, aiming the total attendance of the municipal population, having all rights to a good quality of basic sanitation.
