With this perspective, the study presents a simplified methodology and practical assessment of the surveillance of water quality in the Federal District. It is quantified, with use of weights, the rate of quality suggested by the Health Department, the execution of the sampling plan, the intermittency of water supply, the number of months without collecttting samples by the Health Surveillance Department , the existence of control analysis and technical manager, the number of registrations and inspections, the degree of illiteracy and per capita income of each region. Among the five water supply systems evaluated, those of Descoberto and Brazlândia and the alternative solutions of the administrative regions of Gamma and Paranoá were the most problematic.
