The management of water resources in community systems faces several challenges when it comes to meeting the population's water demand. The efficiency of the water service provided by the Drinking Water Administrative Boards (JAAP) of the province of Los Ríos was diagnosed, through the identification of compliance (C) and non-compliance (NC), interviews and perception surveys based on the indicators: continuity of service, satisfaction with water quality, presence/absence of diseases, and perception of the work carried out by the directors of the JAAP. SPSS Statistic software was used, "Cronbach's alpha" (degree of reliability) was applied, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), KMO test (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin Measure) showed a variable ratio of (0.78). The commonality matrix indicated a correlation criterion greater than (0.7), while the total variance explained for the principal component analysis was (76.14%). The majority of users considered it to be an optimal service, although 17.64% considered the pressure with which the water resource is received to be limiting, associating the presence of impurities.
