Water and environmental urban sustainability is one of the major challenges in water resources management. Hydrologic Cycle is impacted by urbanization, resulting in floods, air, soil, rivers and aquifers polluted due to high human concentration and great water, energy, transport and communication demand which results in many pollution sources. Water services in the cities are water supply, sanitation, stormwater, solids management with goals to achieve human and environment sustainability. The main environmental issue in Brazil in the urban areas is the lack of services on sanitation for Brazilian cities. Tucci (2017) presented two indicators to evaluate the urban sustainability related to sanitation, showing that these services impact the environment nearby the cities. This article presents the results of these indicators for the State of Santa Catarina using the Water Resource State Plan outputs. The results show the indicators in function of existing water and sanitation services and there were presented Plan of Investments in order to improve the services and indicators for the next 25 years.
