Ensuring water availability to the entire population, with quality and safety, is strategic to the continuity and efficiency of our business. The Water Safety Plan (WSP) is an essential element to map the entire supply system in the cities we serve, from abstraction to distribution to customers.

WSP allows the identification of risks and weaknesses and subsidizes the prioritization of investments and action plans to offer safe, quality water to the population.

The Sewage Overflow Management Program aims to prevent soil and water body contamination and to contribute to environmental preservation. With this initiative, we seek to avoid environmental impacts in the cities we serve and preserve the springs from which we draw water to serve the population.

The dams we use for water withdrawal are continuously monitored for safety and operational reliability. We have implemented the Dam Safety Plan and developed the Emergency Action Plans (EAPs), in accordance with the National Dam Safety Policy.

In 2020, we have made progress in our strategy to increase the efficiency of the business with a focus on prioritizing renewable energy to power our units. In May 2020, we inaugurated the Timon solar power plant, in Maranhão, which has the capacity to produce up to 5,000 MWh/year of clean energy for the operations of the units.
