Therefore, a bibliographic survey, semi-structured interviews, Participant Observation and analysis of the collected data were carried out. The arguments presented by the residents of the neighborhood about the provision of public water supply services corroborate the differentiation in the conditions of treatment of the public company with the poor and majority black population.
