In general, the methodology for implementing PSA in a municipality consists of the following steps: i) preliminary steps (planning); ii) system evaluation, iii) operational monitoring; iv) management plans; v) PSA review, vi ) PSA validation and verification.

According to the Brazilian Health Foundation, the main points to be developed under PSA are:
•    Pollution control of water sources;
•    Prevention and /or treatment of contaminants in water sources;
•    Prevention and /or treatment of contaminants, storage, distribution and consumption;
•    Improvement of Water Supply System management and operation practices;
•    Expand knowledge and exchange of information among agents working throughout Water Supply Systems;
•    Evidence and prioritize the needs for physical infrastructure and resource improvements.
•    Monitor losses and provide quick decision-making.

Diffusion strategies

Awareness-raising and training workshops;
Delivery of didactic, digital and physical material;
Records of activities in reports.

Monitoring strategies

PSA assessment indicators follow the methodology of the World Health Organization (WHO). Each TED provides for the preparation of periodic reports for Funasa to review and validate the results achieved in each stage of development
