The Social Tariff service capacity will be doubled, going from 10 thousand to up to 20 thousand beneficiaries. With the expansion, more families that meet the eligibility criteria will be able to access the differentiated rate. Small commercial establishments are also being covered. For businesses with monthly consumption of up to 5 thousand liters of water, the discount goes from 25% to 50%, reaching around 1,500 establishments in Petrópolis. A benefit was also created for philanthropic institutions registered with the Municipal Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CMDCA). The entities will have an 80% discount on water and sewage tariffs, contributing to the reduction of expenses with essential services and the continuity of social activities carried out in the municipality. "We are expanding our investment capacity to accelerate the universalization of sanitation services while strengthening our social commitment. The expansion of the Social Tariff and the new benefits for small traders demonstrate that it is possible to combine advances in infrastructure with initiatives that promote inclusion and economic development for the municipality", declared the director of Águas do Imperador, Márcio Salles.
