The government of opens on Tuesday (20) public consultation for the Paulista Social Tariff Program, which expands access to poor regions of the municipalities served by. It is estimated that 300,000 new families will have discounts.
The planned investment is about R $ 1 billion, supported by the Universalization Support Fund (FAUSP), created from 2024. The fund received 30% of the privatization, as well as dividends paid by the company to the State Government, which has 18.3% of shares.
Sabesp’s concession contract already provides two reduced rates for low -income people, with discounts of up to 78%.
The new fare covers families with per capita income of up to half a minimum wage who have a disabled person or elderly, 65 years or older and beneficiaries of the continued benefit benefit.
Families residing in an informal urban core will be benefited from regularization or to be contemplated by Sabesp intervention. These people will have a 50% discount applicable to the consumption of up to 15 cubic meters for 24 months from the call.
