In 2020, the sanitation framework was updated by the Brazilian Federal Law nº 14,026/2020 to advance the sanitation sector throughout the country. This study aims to evaluate and correlate the indices related to basic sanitation with indexes of economic and social development of the municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The consultation and collection of data on the treatment and distribution of drinking water were carried out from the government databases. They were correlated with the various human and sanitation indicators to perform the present work. It was obtained that the mean and standard deviation of the data of the index of attendance with Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTPs) evaluated (2013-2035) are, respectively, 92.02% and 0.13%. It was possible to conclude that there is a tendency to increase the percentage values of the population with piped water with the quality-of-life indices of the population.
