In recent decades, cities have grown rapidly in terms of size, population and density, concentrating problems and challenging society and those who manage it. At the presen time, Brazil is still in a position of delay in the international scenario of sanitation, which implies in damages to the quality of life of the population and the economy of the country. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of hospitalizations and deaths caused by diseases related to inadequate environmental sanitation (DRSAI) and sanitation indicators in 29 municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul, from 2000 to 2010. It was used data from the Hospital Information System of the SUS and the Census of 2000 and 2010. It was verified that the number of hospitalizations declined in the range of years studied, however the hospitalizations due to DRSAIs did not present the same behavior. In 2000, the total number of hospitalizations was 86,135, falling to 69,749 in 2010. Meanwhile, hospitalizations for DRSAI in 2000 totaled 1,170, and in 2010 it increased to 1,509. All indicators of basic sanitation, when evaluated for the region as totally, showed growth in coverage of services in the period, however, it is recommended the analysis of each municipality separately.
