Cotia City Hall and Sabesp discussed the necessary procedures for the execution of basic sanitation works that, according to the company, total R$ 1 billion in investments in the municipality.
The schedule and details of the interventions were presented on Wednesday (7), in the City Hall auditorium, by Sabesp's Projects manager, Marcelo Gonçalves de Jesus. The meeting brought together technicians from the company, the mayor of Cotia, Welington Formiga, municipal secretaries and representatives of the outsourced companies responsible for executing the works.
According to Sabesp, the investments will be allocated to the expansion and modernization of the water supply and sewage collection and treatment systems. The interventions are part of Phase 2 of the Tietê Project.
According to Gonçalves, Cotia currently has 64% sewage collection coverage and 39% treatment. The interventions presented aim to expand service and contribute to meeting the universalization goals of sanitation, which foresee water supply for 100% of the population and sewage collection and treatment for 90%.
The six contracts presented during the meeting total R$ 1 billion and cover approximately 123 kilometers of linear works, in addition to the implementation of 19 sewage pumping stations.
The representatives of the contractors presented the services under each company's responsibility and the main challenges for complying with the contracts signed with Sabesp. The execution of the works is organized by lots.
Among the planned interventions is the deactivation of a sewage treatment unit in Cotia. The space will be transformed into a pumping station, which will have the function of directing the sewage collected in the municipality for treatment in Barueri.
New investments
During the presentation, Marcelo also informed that a new contracting of a package of works, called Wave 4, is planned, with investments estimated at R$ 800 million and execution expected by the end of 2029. The details of these investments have not yet been disclosed.
City Hall and Sabesp align execution of works
The meeting also aimed to bring together the teams of the City Hall, Sabesp and the contracted companies, allowing the alignment of the necessary procedures for the execution of services.
According to the Sabesp manager, the partnership with the municipality will be fundamental to expedite releases, licensing and coordination with other public agencies, especially in interventions involving highways.
During the meeting, the City Hall also questioned Sabesp technicians about the restoration of roads after the opening of trenches for the execution of works. The Municipal Administration highlighted that it frequently receives complaints from residents about the quality of repairs carried out by the company, especially in situations in which the pavement is not properly restored.
In response, Sabesp's Projects manager, Marcelo Gonçalves de Jesus, informed that the company has been adopting technical improvements in this process and stated that the identified problems will be solved.
The meeting was attended by municipal secretaries Iran Soares, of Works and Infrastructure; Edson Gomes de Assis, of Government; Valdecir Fonseca, of Planning, Transport and Mobility; and Michel da Silva Alves, of Labor and Income.
