Sumario:Basic Sanitation is an indispensable human right for a life with dignity, for public health and social well-being. With this, the objective of this work is to analyze the reality of the provision of water and sewage services in the municipality of Rio das Ostras (RJ). The 2021 Sanitation Ranking methodology carried out by the Trata Brasil Institute was used. In addition, a comparative analysis was carried out between the data from Rio das Ostras and the realities of three other municipalities, these being the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the municipality of Santos (SP) and the capital Macapá (AP). With the methodology, we sought to answer whether the municipality of Rio das Ostras performs a satisfactory service in relation to the fulfillment of SDG 6 of the UN 2030 Agenda and the universalization goals provided for in Law 14,026. It was observed that the municipality presents promising results in relation to the distribution of drinking water to the population. However, the municipality has a great deficiency in the sewage collection and treatment sector. It can be concluded that the municipality needs to expand its investments in the sector, especially in relation to sewage collection and treatment, so that the universalization goals are met.
