365 Summary

As water needs to travel through the entire distribution network to reach homes, the normalization process can take up to 48 hours after the end of maintenance at higher and more distant points of the complex. Therefore, some neighborhoods may only have their supply back to normal until Thursday night (20).

  • The shutdown began at 6am and had to occur to install equipment that will ensure greater operational safety during the dry period.
  • Amphibious pumps were placed, which can capture water from the river even at the most critical levels.

Maintenance at Ponta das Lajes is completed and the system begins to be reestablished Disclosure/Águas de Manaus Águas de Manaus has completed scheduled maintenance at the Ponta das Lajes Complex, which serves the East zone and part of the North. With the end of the service, the water supply in these areas entered the recovery phase. The system is gradually resumed. As water needs to travel through the entire distribution network to reach homes, the normalization process can take up to 48 hours after the end of maintenance at higher and more distant points of the complex. Therefore, some neighborhoods may only have their supply back to normal until Thursday night (20). The shutdown began at 6am and had to occur to install equipment that will ensure greater operational safety during the dry period. Amphibious pumps were placed, which can capture water from the river even at the most critical levels. In addition, other services were carried out during this Tuesday's maintenance, such as inspections and cleaning in operational units served by Ponta das Lajes. More than 200 employees served on the task force. Complex was prepared for the dry period. Return of supply is gradual and must be completed within 48 hours. The supply recovery process will continue to be monitored by the concessionaire's Integrated Operations Center (COI). During this period of normalization, teams remain mobilized to respond to incidents and direct water trucks to emergency situations. Águas de Manaus has guided the reserve of treated water since last week. Now, the concessionaire reinforces that the population continues to use the stored resource consciously, until the service is completely restored in their neighborhood. Assistance for emergency situations remains available on the dealership's official channels: 0800 092 0195 (Call Center and WhatsApp) or via Instagram. See the supply return schedule.
