Resumen
El derecho al agua y su cumplimiento es un deber primordial del Estado, garantizado en
la Constitución de la República del Ecuador y ratificado por los Tratados Internacionales,
con la finalidad de garantizar la dignidad del ser humano y su calidad de vida pues se
encuentra directamente relacionado con otros derechos humanos. Sin embargo, la medida
que implementó la Empresa Pública Municipal de Agua Potable de Azogues contra una
adulta mayor con discapacidad resultó lesiva y desproporcionada debido a la situación de
doble vulnerabilidad de la accionada, vulnerando la disponibilidad y accesibilidad del
agua potable. Así, en el presente trabajo se analiza la Sentencia 232-15-JP/21 con el
objetivo de determinar si ha generado cambios que garanticen efectivamente el derecho
al agua y servicio potable de los grupos de atención prioritaria. Se concluyó que la
sentencia no es aplicable a nivel nacional, por lo que el derecho al agua es susceptible a
una nueva vulneración, siendo necesario reformar las leyes ecuatorianas pertinentes a fin
de asegurar el acceso al agua potable de los usuarios pertenecientes a grupos de atención
prioritaria.
The right to water and its fulfillment is a fundamental duty of the State, guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador and ratified by International Treaties, with the purpose of guaranteeing the dignity of the human being and their quality of life, since it is directly related to other human rights. However, the measure implemented by the Azogues Municipal Drinking Water Company against an elderly woman with a disability was harmful and disproportionate due to the situation of double vulnerability of the defendant, violating the availability and accessibility of drinking water. Thus, in the present work, Sentence 232-15- JP/21 is analyzed with the objective of determining if it has generated changes that effectively guarantee the right to drinking water and service of priority attention groups. It was concluded that the sentence is not applicable at the national level, therefore the right to water is susceptible to a new violation, making it necessary to reform the relevant Ecuadorian laws in order to ensure access to drinking water for users belonging to priority care groups.
