Pernambuco waterworks funding tops US$500mn - cities ministry
Since 2007, during phase one of Brazil's growth acceleration plan (PAC), the federal cities ministry has issued nearly 1.7bn reais (US$518mn) in funding to improve basic water and sewerage services in the northeastern state of Pernambuco, a ministry spokesperson told BNamericas.
"From 2007 to 2017, the ministry allocated 1.35bn reais to the state, of which 481mn reais came from the federal budget and 866mn reais was disbursed through financing. This month, the ministry earmarked another 335mn reais for the sector, which will be financed through federal savings bank Caixa Econômica Federal," the spokesperson said.
The funding will be spent in 13 municipalities; Arcoverde, Bezerros, Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Caruaru, Goiana, Ipojuca, Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Olinda, Ouricuri, Paulista, Recife, Salgueiro, and Timbaúba.
A total of 34 projects are in the pipeline and will be started once technical, financial and legal requirements are met. They include project studies, as well as civil works related to potable water supply, sewage collection and treatment, storm water control and solid waste management.
The city that will receive the most funds is Olinda, with 110mn reais. It is followed by Paulista and Arcoverde, which will get 53.1mn reais and 48mn reais, respectively, the spokesperson said.
With coverage rates of 76% for potable water supply and 27% for sewage collection and treatment, Pernambuco is well ranked in the country. The state water utility is currently Compesa.
