The water they consume in the parish of San Bartolomé de Pinllo is contaminated by coliforms, which remain causing acute diarrheal diseases in the inhabitants. The purpose of this investigation is to design a tactic for community prevention of acute diarrheal diseases by evaluating the microbiological quality of water for human consumption. For the investigation, 30 water samples were taken from random homes using the table of random numbers, the water was analyzed using the membrane filtration procedure, having as a consequence that the water in the parish has high levels of coliforms and does not comply with the technical rule NTE INEN 1108. The results obtained from the microbiological studies of the recent water samples will be compared with the results obtained previously, to check if the water has improved its quality, as well as a survey using the same questions used before and the recent results will be compared with the previous ones and to establish if the acute diarrheal pathologies have diminished. A community prevention plan will be applied to improve the quality of life of the residents of the parish
