Abstract

Community water systems have been commissioned to manage the use of water intended for human consumption and domestic. These organizations manage to meet this basic need approximately 20% of the national population. This great responsibility that cannot be outside of government control, has substantial implications for public health and the environment that make concern by researchers. This research aimed to identify the perceptions of the inhabitants of the municipality 13 Ibagué on the drinking water provided by community water systems that supply them. This descriptive study was conducted using the case study method and was able to provide that service users are aware of the deficiencies and possible negative implications it may have on the health of people. Key Word — Community water systems, water quality, public health, perceptions.
