Many childrens have school meals as their main meal du-ring the day, but many brazilians schools do not have a hygiene program that aims to establish the routine way in which institutions will avoid direct or cross-contamination and preserve students he-alth. Therefore, this work paper aims at the water microbiological evaluation and hygienic-sanitary conditions of drinking fountains, taps and food handlers in a municipal school. The samples were collected and analyzed in three repetitions and in triplicate. The results were evaluated using the SPSS 21.0® software. Analyzes of total coliforms and thermotolerant and swabs of the surface were performed to detect mesophilic microorganism. The tank’s water presents satisfactory results and is in accordance with the legisla-tion. But the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the surfaces analyzed presents higher results as the recommended to satisfactory hygie-nic conditions, including the mugs that children share and that can become a vehicle for disease. This scenario can be improved by continuous training and higher sensibilization and school adminis-tration engagement.
