PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
São Gabriel (RS)
Full Concession
One of the premises of the 'São Gabriel
-
Saneamento concessionaire - of the Solvi
Group in the bidding process period was
to offer a tariff 15% lower than the one be-
ing charged in the municipality. After eight
years of operation, the company managed
to achieve a 29% lower tariff. Comparing
the two concessionaires, a thousand liters
of water would cost BRL 5.91 with the old
concessionaire, with annual correction,
which works out at BRL 1.33 more than
what the current concessionaire will apply
after its correction.
In one year, the city of São Gabriel alone
shaved BRL 5.3 million off costs incurred
with sanitation services. If we consider the
eight years in which the company has been
operating in the municipality, then we see
that over BRL 40 million, in adjusted val-
ues, have already been saved. These are
savings where everyone stands to benefit,
especially consumers.
The concessionaire is a pioneer, having
spearheaded the collection of payments
using the new PIX system for electronic
payments. In addition to bringing custom-
in settlement of invoices for the client, this
ers quality of service, and ease and speed
new development also slashes the com-
pany costs as incurred with bank fees and
charges (the mean cost today for counter
the use of PIX, these values dwindle to only
payment is BRL 1.59 per transaction; with
BRL 0.33 per invoice).Another benefit is the
swift checking of payments, in very short

The use of the PIX system also complies with
the company's policy for external communi-
cation, that of encouraging "stay-at-home", as
a way to avoid contamination by Covid-19.
Sumaré (SP)
Full Concession
Five years after the concession of sani-
tation services in Sumaré, a city with 280
thousand inhabitants, a total sum of over
BRL 131 million has already been invested
for improvement of water supply services,
as well as sewage collection and treatment.
The investment was necessary to solve fre-
quent problems of water supply interrup-
tions. The occurrences resulted in a high
number of complaints from the population.
For the next two years, BRK Ambiental is
following an investment programme of BRL
153 million. There are plans to build two
large sewage treatment plants, making the
city achieve universalization of sewage ser-
vices by 2026 (100%).
Expansion and modernization works will
also be carried out at the municipality's
water treatment plant. The company is
also focused on reducing the loss of wa-
ter throughout the distribution system.
Since the beginning of the concession, the
rate has been reduced from 60% (2015) to
36.5% (average for 2020).
The services provided by the concessionaire
made Sumaré one of the Brazilian munic-
ipalities with the best results in sanitation
services. The city occupies the 50th position
on the Sanitation Ranking, released in March
2021, by the Trata Brasil Institute, in partner-
ship with consulting firm GO Associados.
