Brazilian State Secures $59m Water Project Funding

Casal, the water utility of the Brazilian state of Alagoas, has secured R$100m ($59m) for water projects under the country’s growth acceleration plan.

The Brazilian state will use some of the funds to carry out the fourth stage of state capital Maceio’s water supply expansion.

Casal has already awarded the first three stages of work to local construction companies Construtora Passarelli, Construtora Assumpçao and Telesil Engenharia.

Funds will also be used to develop a municipal sanitation plan and prepare selective recycling services, according to waterworld.com.
