A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FRONTIER FOR BRAZIL
Piquete (SP)
Full Concession
The Águas de Piquete concessionaire, of
the Iguá Group, managed to reduce the loss
rate in the distribution system from 46% to
less than 10%. The result was recorded a
year after the start of our actions to tackle
losses, which began at the end of 2019.
Responsible for the water supply of more
than 13,000 inhabitants, the company has
begun to monitor the networks, at regular in-
tervals, checking water pressure in various
parts of the city, at different times of day.
Pressure regulating valves, telemetrics con-
trol and pictometry control were installed,
allowing specific flow analysis. Leak main-
tenance services started to follow strict
time frames for execution. At the most crit-
ical points, pipes were replaced. Together
with maintenance actions, the water meter
park was renewed.
With the substantial decrease in losses,
the concessionaire managed to save 56%
in their consumption of chemicals and re-
corded an energy efficiency of 9%, as well
as direct impact on revenues.
Social welfare
For inclusion into this aspect, the following
distinguishing factors were considered:
•
Advances in health
Advances in education/professional
qualification
Palmas (TO)
Full Concession
The young city, founded only 32 years ago,
is now considered the fifth Brazilian capital
with the best sanitation index. According to
the Sanitation Ranking - 100 Largest Cit-
ies, launched in March 2021, Palmas ranks
28th, behind only four capitals: Curitiba,
São Paulo, João Pessoa and Brasília.
Over the last five years, over BRL 148 mil-
lion has been invested in actions such as
the implementation of new sewage collec-
tion networks, expansion of the city's main
water treatment plant - increasing its treat-
ment capacity from 750 l/s to 1,500 l/s - as
well as initiatives seeking to reduce losses;
automation; and improvements that al-
lowed the two systems, water and sewage,
to keep up with the city's development and
also expand service provision to new areas.
The result appears directly in the munici-
pality's health indicators. Palmas has re-
duced the incidence of water-related dis-
eases from 13.36 cases per 10,000 people
in 2010 to 5.31 in 2018. In the same period,
among children aged 0 to 4 years, the most
vulnerable group, the incidence dropped
from 103.03 (2010) to 46.95 (2018).
Palmas stands out, appearing as a counter-
point to the national and regional situation
of water and sewage indicators: 100% of
the city's residents have access to treated
water, and 88% are covered by the sewage
collection network.
