As part of the Alagoas Consortium, the Company will manage the services for the next 35 years

The Alagoas Consortium, formed by CONASA Infraestrutura and ALLONDA Ambiental Saneamento, won, this Monday (13), the auction held at B3 for the concession of sanitation services to 34 counties from the Agreste and Sertão of Alagoas (Block B), comprising more than 560 thousand inhabitants. The bid was of R$ 1,215 billion for the management of services for the next 35 years.

In addition to the grant, the Consortium will make planned investments of approximately R$ 1.9 billion. For water supply, investments are estimated in R$ 883.411 million, comprising water collective systems for the Sertão, Bacia Leiteira, Caragueja and Caçamba and the Agreste. For collection and sewage treatment, the contribution will be of R$ 1.014.053 billion.

In the counties currently served by CASAL, the Consortium will provide commercial services and water distribution, and a sanitary sewage system. In the counties currently served by SAAE (Water and Sewage Autonomous Service), however, services will be rendered in their totality. Universalization may occur by 2033, when we will be reaching 100% of water supply and 90% of sewage treatment.      

“We´re looking into many opportunities for private investments in sanitation in Brazil.  We have the experience and operational capacity to contribute significantly to the country´s advancement towards the health and life quality of the population”, affirmed Mario Marcondes Neto, president of Conasa Infraestrutura.
