Click to the g1 Piracicaba channel on WhatsApp Welder Amauri Carlos does not live in the neighborhood, but he goes to a house in the region almost every day and confirmed the situation. "There's a tank up there that you can use, but down there there's nothing to do with it. Then you have to save money. The tap is dry, there's not a drop of water," he says. Billing and response Resident Sandra said that she has had at least five service protocol numbers open at the Municipal Water and Sewage Service (Semae) since Friday, but has not received a solution. "For us, they don't respond at all, they just send the protocol by email. There is a water shortage several times a year, we have no water and no response," he says. However, Semae informed EPTV this Tuesday (18) that it carried out emergency maintenance in the neighborhood on Monday (17), but that the register broke this Tuesday, causing the interruption. The municipality highlighted that the equipment has already been replaced and that the service has been normalized.
