Águas do Imperador (Petrópolis/RJ)
Águas de Juturnaíba (Araruama, Saquarema and Silva Jardim/RJ)
Petrópolis ranks 1st among the cities of Rio de Janeiro with respect to loss rates
and is among the ten best Brazilian cities, occupying the 7th national position. In
2021, the Araras WTP work was underway, which will add 9.5 million liters/day to
the system, 89% completed by the end of the year. The new WTP consolidates the
concept of sustainable sanitation: equipped with the most advanced technology
and fully automated processes, operationalized, and controlled by a state-of-the-
art Operational Control Center (OCC), it will be possible to reuse the processed
water and resulting waste in all respects.

reforestation of the riparian forest for the recovery of the spring, was the winner
