Car wash suffers from lack of water in São José dos Campos, SP William Almeida/TV Vanguarda In the East Zone, a condominium in the Eugênio de Melo district had to hire a water truck to guarantee water supply for residents. However, 40,000 liters of water only lasted two hours at the site. "We tried to do rationing and yesterday 40,000 liters of water were purchased and it lasted these two hours. It was not easy [to find a water truck], the price is very high and today we are trying to purchase a truck from Sabesp because there is no longer a supplier", said Vinícius Freitas, sub-manager of the condominium. "The houses depend on the supply from our tank which is empty, the supply ran out because Sabesp interrupted the supply earlier than expected, practically a day before, it took us by surprise, so we were unable to activate the water the way we would have liked", he added. The Sabesp service was scheduled for this Tuesday (21), but was brought forward to Monday (20), after the identification of a leak in the system. Supply should gradually resume from 12pm this Wednesday (22). Full system normalization is scheduled for Thursday (23). "The work is in progress and the forecast is that from 12 noon onwards we will gradually start to resume supply and have full normalization of the system on Thursday", explained Emerson Santos, regional director of Sabesp in Vale do Paraíba.
