Abstract

This article presents a short study about the Brazilian National Sanitation Policy with an overview of theformer Act 5.318/67 in parallel with the new public policy of the sector, carried by the Act 11.445/2007.Some elements could be extracted from the research that indicates a participative impulse in the new law;however, they are still timid against the real possibilities that were in the hands of the managers of thispublic policy. In a second moment, this work presents some of the national, regional and local sanitarydata, coming to pertinent conclusions that indicate, in general, the precarious level of implementationof the national sanitation policy in Brazil, especially considering the local data obtained in the coastline basin of Paraná.
