The present work is aimed at the study of the principle of continuity of public services and of themes related to it. In order to permit the delimitation of the work s range of application, several aspects that characterize public service were given special focus, bearing in mind that this type of service consists of the activity developed by the State in the exercise of the administrative function. Once the concept of public service had been delimited, we sought to point out the norms pertaining to the principle of continuity, as well as to understand their content. Next, a few mechanisms that ensure the enforcement of the principle of continuity were identified, mechanisms such as those that might be linked to administrative contracts, to the properties used in rendering the public service, or to the exercise of the public function. Greater emphasis was placed on the legal hypotheses that allow for the interruption of the public service. In the legal system, the following situations imposing or authorizing such an interruption were identified: when an emergency is declared; technical or safety reasons regarding the workplace; in case of default on the part of the user, taking into consideration the interests of the community; when workers that render a public service go on strike. Currently, the most controversial hypotheses in the doctrine and in the jurisprudence are the interruptions brought about by user default or by labor strikes. Our dealing with the theme regarding the interruption of public services due to user default was meant to check whether or not such an interruption is in violation of the principle of continuity. Also thoroughly examined, were the situations that demanded maintenance of the public service even in case of default, with the interests of the community in mind. Concerning the interruption of public services due to labor strikes, it was observed that the matter requires specific regulations, mainly in what regards the discipline of strikes by civil servants. In the present scenario, while the matter is not yet regulated by law, the Judiciary has been playing a relevant role by ensuring the exercise of the right to strike and, at the same time, faced with the hard fact, by laying down rules to minimize loss on the part of users. Lastly, two procedural instruments were presented the individual mandatory injunction and the public civil action requiring the State to render, or to guarantee the rendering of the public services in a continuous way
