Objective: Evaluate the performance of Environmental Health Surveillance in implementing policies for access to drinking water in Sobral-Ceará. Method: Application of the evaluative model EGIPSS (Évaluation Globale et Intégrée de la Performance des Systèmes de Sant). Originality/Relevance: Data treatment reduces the gap in discussions about environmental transformations and their repercussions concerning the health-disease process and the environment. As a relevance, it clarifies the importance of the theme of Environmental Health Surveillance along with its impacts and influences applied to the SUS (Brazilian Public Health Care System). In addition, there are their contributions to urban and regional planning, since the main results will bring subsidies to public managers in order to strengthen, for example, water treatment and distribution systems, strongly impacting the urban and regional environment under environmental and health aspects. Results: The results showed that, from 2017 to 2021, the performance levels of the actions carried out by the Environmental Health Surveillance were good, regular and wrong. Water quality was one of the main tools carried out by the service. Through the opinion poll, the population was divided about the issues of water quality and quantity. Social/Management Contributions: Environmental monitoring by the point of view of human health becomes fundamental because it favors a solid contribution to the construction of public policies and decision-making.
