In the paper the analysis of water supply infrastructure in Lublin Province was presented. We analysed the length of the water supply system divided into urban and rural areas, also change of water supply system growth and the analysis of number of connections to buildings over the studied years were presented. An issue of water consumption for household purposes, for industry, agriculture and forestry, and the operational needs of the water supply network, was also discussed. We analysed the percentage of the population using the water supply system and the indicators of equipping individual cities and counties in water supply systems were shown. The paper presents the analysis of the density of the water supply system in relation to national conditions. Appointed indicator of failure rate of water supply systems in the individual districts of Lublin province has an average reliability and failure rate according to the criteria recommended in the study [7]. There was a steady increase in the water supply system and related to it increase in investments. Significant changes that occurred in the field of water supply were the result of Polish accession to the European Union. After this accession Poland had to meet certain requirements related to the functioning of environment protection infrastructure. Changes in individual parameters characterizing the water supply infrastructure fit with the national tendency.
