--- The present research was conducted the first months in 2013, we determined the grade of contamination with cadmium and arsenic in drinking water from storage water reservoirs of SEDAPAL, in the Chuquitanta Urban Community - San Martin de Porres district, which is distributed to the public through tanker trucks carrying water to homes for human consumption. Finally this water is stored in plastic cylinders houses mostly for later use. The maximum permissible limits set by the World Health Organization (2006) and Regulatory of Water Quality Drinking Peru (2010), indicated for cadmium was: 0,003 mg/L and arsenic was: 0,01 mg/L. In water samples from storage water reservoirs of SEDAPAL, it was determined the average concentration of cadmium that was: 0,00417 mg/L and arsenic that was: 0,00127 mg/L.; in water samples from tanker trucks was determined the average concentration of cadmium that was: 0,00439 mg/L and arsenic that was: 0,00121 mg/L; in water samples from plastic cylinders of houses were determined the average concentration of cadmium that was: 0,00108 mg/L and arsenic that was: 0,00167 mg/L. These results have shown that the concentration of cadmium exceeded the maximum permissible limits in the central reservoirs of SEDAPAL and tankers trucks, both water consumption modalities, indicated a risk of chronic intoxication and severe health for the population. Key words: Arsenic, Cadmium, Tanker, SEDAPAL reservoirs, tanker trucks, maximum permissible limits.
