This Decree, consisting of 81 articles divided into twelve Chapters, regulates the water supply service for human consumption within the State of Santa Catarina. It establishes that any water supply system or collective alternative solution for human consumption, public or private, shall be subject to the supervision of the health authority in all phases of the water treatment process, from abstraction to distribution. In order to ensure the control and monitoring of water quality, water collection points are assured at the exit of the treatment and in the distribution network. Any human action that causes pollution or causes contamination is prohibited. The collective systems and alternative water supply solutions for human consumption must have a technical person qualified to operate. The Water Supply Service Provider (PSAA) should develop the Water Safety Plan (PSA), defined as an instrument that identifies and prioritizes hazards and risks in an Water Supply System (SAA), from the source to the consumer, in order to establish control measures to reduce or eliminate them and establish processes to verify the effectiveness of preventive management.
