Abstract

This study aimed to understand the perceptions of residents of the São Francisco do Iratapuru Extractive Community (AP) regarding the quality of water supplied by the public network, and to analyze whether this water meets the standards set by Ordinance GM/MS No. 888/2021. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was used through the application of a questionnaire, as well as physical-chemical and microbiological analyses to assess water quality. According to the results, 71.1% of the respondents do not consider the water to be of good quality. In the users' opinion, the water presents undesirable characteristics such as color (43.3%) and dirtiness (43.3%). The data obtained from the physical-chemical and microbiological analyses revealed non-compliance with the current resolution for the Total Coliforms parameter. The methodology for evaluating the system based on the community's perception proved to be an important tool for management, planning, and system credibility, as physical and organoleptic characteristics were the most noticeable.

Keywords: potability. SDG 6. cost-benefit. sustainability.
