PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FRONTIER FOR BRAZIL
Penha and São
Francisco do Sul (SC)
Full Concession
Essential for life and hygiene, water has
become even more important, with the cur-
rent spread of Covid-19.Soap and water are
responsible for properly cleansed hands,
surfaces and objects, thereby avoiding
contamination. Paying close attention to
the need for hygiene and health care of the
population, the Águas de São Francisco do
Sul and Águas de Penha concessionaires,
both of the Aegea Group, have sought to ex-
pand the scope of benefits provided by the
water social tariff (WST) to ensure supply
to those who live in a situation amounting
to social vulnerability in both cities.
The measure, however, should occur with
the conscious use of water, thereby avoiding
waste, in order not to have an impact upon
the supply and the families' budget. Discount
rates are regulated by the city councils.
To participate, families must be included
on the Federal Government's Single Regis-
ter for Social Programmes (CadÚnico) and
consume no more than 10 m³ of water/
month. Registration has become estab-
lished as the main instrument for the identi-
fication and characterization of low-income
families, thus allowing their selection and
inclusion in social programmes.
In San Francisco do Sul, the goal is to include
all families registered on the CadÚnico for
the social tariff programme. In Penha, fami-
lies registered on the Social Programmes of
the City Department of Social Security, up to
date with the payment of the rates, and that
consume up to 10m³ of water/ month (prov-
en taking the average consumption over the
last twelve months), are entitled to the social
residential water tariff.
Zona Oeste Mais - Rio
de Janeiro (RJ)
Sewage Concession
Winner of the Faz Diferença Award given by
leading Rio newspaper 'O Globo', in 2019,
the Qualifica Mais project, carried out by
the Concessionaire Zona Oeste Mais San-
eamento, has already trained 58 students
over three years, with 16 of these managing
to be integrated into the company's staff.
The course is held in partnership with the
Rio de Janeiro State Industry Federation
(Firjan), Social Service for Industry (Sesi)
and the National Industrial Learning Ser-
vice (Senai), assisting with the methodolo-
gy and skills training of the participants.
Qualifica Mais has the main aim of sup-
plying knowledge of work as a hydraulic
fire-fighter to members of the local com-
munity where the concessionaire is active
(22 neighborhoods of the West Zone of Rio
de Janeiro). All those who enroll go through
a screening process. Once accepted, they
participate in 128 hours of full-time train-
ing: 84 hours of in-person technical class-
es, where there is teaching of execution of
installations and maintenance of hydraulic
systems. Students receive transportation
assistance and meals at the venue of the
course, on course days.
Due to the pandemic, the project did not of-
fer classes in 2020, and is now awaits the
end of the period with restrictive measures
in place, to restart its activities.
