PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FRONTIER FOR BRAZIL
Economy
For inclusion in this aspect, the following
differentials were considered:
.
•
Investment of importance for the
local reality
• Creation of jobs
Attraction of industries and other
investments to the municipality
Barcarena (PA)
Full Concession
In June 2020, the first sewage treatment
plant in the municipality was inaugurated.
This was the first step of a major challenge
that Barcarena now faces: that of speeding
up investment so that the city can stand out
in the sanitation sector of Pará. Currently,
just under nine thousand inhabitants out
of a total population of 68 thousand have
sewage service coverage.
The forecast of the 'Aguas de São Fran-
cisco' concessionaire, part of the Aegea
Group, which has managed the services in
the municipality since 2014, is that by 2022
Barcarena will have 24% of sewage service
coverage, expanding the service to serve
14,000 residents, BRL 86 million have al-
ready been invested to improve services for
the population.
The 'Água Pai d'Égua' project is under de-
velopment in the city, consisting of the
creation of multitasking teams that run
through the neighborhoods, working on the
regularization of the water supply. For wa-
ter supply, 40 kilometers of water network
are still to be implemented, together with
the restructuring of 20 kilometers of exist-
ing networks, to ensure there is water sup-
ply reaching the taps of over 15,000 people.
Manaus (AM)
Full Concession
Over the last two years, the city has received
investments of more than BRL 388 million
for the improvement of water supply and
sewage collection and treatment. During
this period, the concessionaire responsible
for the services - Águas de Manaus - came
under the control of the Aegea Group.
Five new reservoirs were built to add to the
water reserve in strategic regions, expand-
ing capacity by 30 million liters, benefiting
more than 600,000 inhabitants and reduc-
ing the irregular water supply. Coverage
rose from 87.79% to 98% of the population
and the concessionaire has been match-
ing the natural expansion of Manaus that,
among Brazilian capitals, is still one of the
fastest growing in the country in the last 10
years (its population increased by 25.5%,
according to the IBGE).
The concessionaire also kick-started the
'Vem com a Gente' (Come with Us) rela-
tionship programme, which has brought
treated water to places supplied with ir-
regular connections and has promoted the
regularization of water supply in socially
vulnerable areas.
With regard to sewage treatment, three new
medium and large sewage treatment plants
have been were delivered. The goal is to re-
verse the worrying indicators of the Capital
of Amazonas, which records coverage of
only 23.80% with regard to treated sewage,
with most of the volume being poured into
streams, lakes and the Negro river. The
collection and treatment networks were
expanded, from a 12.3% coverage rate
in 2018 to coverage of 22% at the end of
2020. This means that about 500 thousand
manauaras (residents of Manaus) already
have a sewage network available. The goal
is to attain a level of 25% coverage by the
end of 2021.
Customers registered for the social tariff
rose by 220%. The concessionaire encour-
ages low-income users to adhere to the so-
cial tariff. The benefit grants a 50% discount
off the water bill. At present, some 63 thou-
sand consumers have already signed up.
