Conteúdo:	Human consumption water can be obtained from several different sources. One of these sources, the underground source, which due to its low cost, easy perforation and water capitation from the free water-bearing (fl at well) is more frequently used in Brazil. The water’s good aspect gives the consumers a purity sensation, what leads them not to treat water, not even for a disinfection process, what would certainly minimize diseases spreading. Microbiologically contaminated water can cause a large variety of diseases. The goal of this study is to evaluate water quality relating PID (Parasite Infectious Diseases) medication consume. There were evaluated 385 water fi ndings from rural communities from the city of Bandeirantes – PR, coming from artesian or fl at wells (brute water), it was evaluated also the PID medication consume from Municipal Health Offi ce from Bandeirantes – PR – SUS Drugstore of Bandeirantes – PR. The results have shown that the waters presented high Coliforms sample percentage. From those, 47,79% indicated inappropriate to human consumption water. Low medication consume variation may show an endemic side of PID. Water fi ltration and cloration, along with an ambient and sanitary education for rural population, may reduce hydro transmitted diseases occurrence and lower medication consume.
