PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FRONTIER FOR BRAZIL
Rio Claro (SP)
PPP Sewage
With almost 210,000 inhabitants, the city
stands out as a reference benchmark when
expansion of sewage services is concerned.
In just 10 years, the treatment rate soared
from 11% (before the concession of the ser-
vices) to 92%. Universalisation - full service
coverage is planned for next year (2022).
In 2007, BRK Ambiental took over the man-
agement of sewage collection, remov-
al, treatment and final disposal services
and made investments in complementary
works, adaptation and modernization of
the system. Currently, the sewage treat-
ment capacity is 1.3 million m 3 per month,
equivalent to an average of 500 liters per
second in 2021.
Investments for sewage treatment have
already exceeded BRL 309 million over 13
years of concession, having an impact upon
quality of life and positive effects on public
health and on the environment. With efficient
sewage treatment, Rio Claro has depolluted
its main rivers and streams. In fact, the city
was included in the list of Brazilian munici-
palities with best results in sanitation.
Last year, Rio Claro was listed in the annu-
al ranking of Universalization of Sanitation,
published by the Brazilian Association of
Sanitary and Environmental Engineering
(ABES), in the "Towards Universalization"
category, having the highest score. Also in
2020, the city stood out and ranked second
in the Sanitation and Environment category
of the Municipalities' Competitivity Ranking,
first published by the Centre for Public Lead-
ership (CLP) due to the depollution of rivers.
Santa Rita do Passa Quatro
(SP)
Full Concession
In just five years of operation, the sewage
collection and treatment rate in the urban
area of the municipality, located in the Mo-
gi-Guaçu hydrographic basin, rose from
36% to 100% of the population, while the
treated water loss rate took a tumble from
61% to 26%.
Controlled by GS Inima Brasil, Said and Enor-
sul, the Comasa concessionaire has invest-
ed in the modernization of the water sup-
ply system based on water obtained from
the Passa Quatro and São Valentim rivers;
in new surface wells and artesian wells for
water harnessing, pumping stations and
optimization of the sanitary sewer system
that serves the municipality's 25,000 inhab-
itants. Comasa started its operations in the
municipality in 2016, and will serve the pop-
ulation of 25 thousand, until the year 2046.
Municipalities that have already achieved
universalization

A study released by the Brazilian Associ-
ation of Sanitary and Environmental Engi-
neering (ABES) in June 2020 showed that
only 98 cities in the country are in the stage
called "working towards universalization".
These include municipalities that have re-
lied on private concessionaires for over a
decade and are now reaping the benefits
of their solid investments made to improve
the water supply and sewage collection
and treatment services for the population.
These are investments that directly affect
the quality of life, by ensuring access to
drinking water, with regularity and quality, in
addition to a sanitary sewer services sys-
tem, which prevents disease while preserv-
ing the environment.
We now show two examples of this evolution:
