In the approach to the public policy of basic sanitation in Natal Metropolitan Region and the promotion and application of the principles of equity and social justice through the universalization of services, considering the Sustainable Development Goals - SDG, in the study proposed here, it is important to highlight the relevance and inter-relation of the three variables presented: space, time and public policy. The representative space for the study is the Natal Metropolitan Region, whose current configuration is the result of the accelerated and disordered urbanization process that extrapolated the territorial limits of the core city, Natal, generating a situation of overflow towards neighboring municipalities, in the context of a metropolis in formation, with effects not only in the physical-territorial dimension, but also in the socio-economic and political-institutional dimensions. These factors intertwined in order to produce a doubly configured Metropolitan Region: the institutional metropolis and the functional metropolis. The most comprehensive institutional metropolis consists of fourteen municipalities currently included in state legislation. The functional metropolis is composed of the central municipality, Natal, and the five municipalities with greater integration to this one (Parnamirim, São Gonçalo do Amarante, Macaíba, Ceará-Mirim and Extremoz). The research has a scope of ten years, starting from the emergence of the new regulatory framework of basic sanitation in Brazil, Federal Law 11.445, from 2007 until 2017. When establishing itself as a guiding wire basic sanitation, the premise is the recognition of the relevance of this public policy and its strategic character, placing the universalization of this service as a primary factor for human dignity. The focus was on water supply and sewage services, considering also the basic sanitation in its built technical networks, involving the physical works, as well as the associated planning, including management and mechanisms of social control within this territory. Based on data and information obtained through documentary research, the national and international literature on the subject, the statistical data related to the respective indicators, the pertinent legislation, comprising a framework of laws, decrees, ordinances and normative acts that deal with the theme, in their national and local scope, including the censuses, plans and studies elaborated by the technical area associated to the public management of basic sanitation, in the different federative entities.
