The importance of addressing the issues that imply the health of the community population of the Jardim Gramacho dump, as well as the water for own consumption, this article is an integral part of the results of the master's thesis on Environmental Sciences, whose general objective was: Analyze the Microbiological standards of the water used by the population of the dump community. The results showed that, in the SS agar plates, there was presence of Salmonella in 70%, and 90% Shigella in the water of the reservoirs, already in 95% of Chromocult Agar plates, Escherichia coli and Total Coliformes were present, it is worth noting that only a sample collected in the reservoir of house 06 failed for all agents. It is concluded that, most of the reservoirs that store the water of the residents' own consumption, negatively influence the health of the population, being able to cause several waterborne diseases. Therefore, it is necessary that measures be adopted to improve the quality of life and health of this community.
