Abstract
The author starts by revising the concept of public service, highlighting the idea of publicatio as an important element. With this taken into consideration, he points out that it is not possible to understand the concept of public service without the presence of ownership by the State. In this context, the concept of essential service arises as a technique that harmonizes social demands and the traditional conception of public service. All in all, these concepts are materialized to affirm that the nature of the service of drinking water and sanitation is of essential service, developing and applying its principles to the concrete case.

Summary
Uno de los conceptos más discutidos en la doctrina del Derecho Administrativo es el de servicio público. En cuanto a los servicios básicos para el desarrollo en sociedad, el agua potable y saneamiento se presenta como uno de las más importantes, no solo por su trascendencia sino por la problemática actual en relación a su prestación y las garantías que se brindan al respecto. Es así como consideramos inevitable aclarar la naturaleza de dicho servicio, lo cual servirá como partida para plantear, posteriormente, políticas y mecanismo que garanticen a cabalidad su acceso y calidad en el servicio, cumpliendo con la exigencia de que dicho servicio satisfaga las necesidades básicas en cada extremo del país
