Description
Summary:From an analysis of sanitation legal discipline - based on the Federal Constitution and the Law 11.445/2007 -, of universalization of public services (considering the low tariffs and costs for implementing its necessary structure) and its supply to the population in Brazil, it is understood that this service is not yet offered to all people and its main regulatory framework is still very new. Given the characteristics of sanitation as the treatment of drinking water, sewer and disposal of solid waste, it is considered as an extremely important service to prevent environmental damage and do not harm people's health. Only from its universalization the fundamental right to health can be effective.
