Information
Águas da Condessa (Paraíba do Sul/RJ)
Reference of basic sanitation in Minas Gerais, the utility has water and wastewater
rates above the standard of most Brazilian municipalities and a water loss
rate below the national average. Upon taking over the concession, it built the
Paraopeba Supply System in five months, solving the water supply problem.
Faced with the spring's contamination due to the dam's rupture in Brumadinho,
the company guaranteed the distribution to the entire city without interruptions
for two years. In 2021, 57% of the work to adapt the sludge treatment at WWTP
União, with a capacity of 180 l/s, was completed.
Operating since: 2015
City population: 95 thousand
Water coverage: 100%
Number of WTPs: 1
Sewer coverage: 99.4%
Treated wastewater: 100%
Number of WWTPs: 9
In one year of service, the company reached a 99% rate of treated water and
reduced distribution losses. Among other actions, it implemented 2,600 meters
of network in several neighborhoods, 1,000 new water connections, and replaced
4,400 water meters. Neighborhoods that previously suffered from a constant
shortage of water ended 2021 with continuous distribution. The utility company
carries out studies on the sanitary wastewater system to cover 25% of the city's
properties in the first five services. The system will contribute to cleaning up the
Paraíba do Sul river. The WWTP Centro, with a capacity of 15 l/s, ended the year in
the contracting phase.
