PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
Sanitation today and the
performance of private
operations
In general, the improvement of coverage
provided by water and sewage services in
Brazil has not been significant, and this re-
flects the dearth of investments made in
this sector over the last five years.
If we make a comparison with the period
been a slight fall in the provision of water
services in urban areas (which dipped from
93.08% in 2015 to 92.95% in 2019) and a
slight improvement in the percentage of ar-
eas with treated sewage, with regard to the
water consumed (42.67% in 2015, rising to
49.09% in 2019).
between 2015 and 2019, we see there has
Without the bases of a legal framework
that would lead to competition, as is the
case nowadays with the current Law No.
14,026/20, private enterprise had shown
practically no change in its participation
within this period, and now provides full or
partial services, according to the model of
concession that has been observed in each
municipality, to 15% of the population (32.5
million people).
However, even though they
are present in only 7% of all
municipalities, the private
concessions in the sanitation
sector already account for
33% of the total sum invest-
ed by the companies of this
segment. In 2019, there was
a total investment of BRL 4.8
billion made by private com-
panies, compared with a total
investment of BRL 14.8 billion
considering all operators.
These investments are the result of 191 dif-
ferent contracts that have been signed, rang-
ing from full and partial concessions to PPPS
and subdelegations, involving a total of 392
cities, of which 42% are considered small
municipalities with up to 20 thousand people,
and another 22% are municipalities with be-
tween 20 thousand and 50 thousand people.
The following are some successfully ex-
amples of municipalities with concessions
that are ensuring the universalization or
have already achieved it.
