Saneago Starts Work on Brazilian Water Projects

Brazilian water utility Saneago has started work on projects to improve the water supply and sewerage services of 36 municipalities in the state of Goias.

The R$1.08bn (£393m) scope of work covers the installation and expansion of potable water supply and sewerage networks, including water mains, reservoirs, pumping stations, dams, lagoons, wells and catchment systems.

Saneago will also carry out sewerage works such as the construction of interceptor pipelines and the construction and expansion of wastewater treatment plants.

The project will be financed by the government under phase I and II of its growth acceleration plan, along with money from the federal unemployment insurance fund, national development bank BNDES and the state government.

A Saneago spokesperson told bnamericas.com that the majority of funds will be invested in potable water works for Aparecida and Anapolis.
