Belo Horizonte faces water and power disruptions

Residents and businesses in Belo Horizonte are experiencing significant utility disruptions. In the Barreiro region, Copasa has warned of intermittent water supply in eight neighborhoods, including Araguaia, Bonsucesso, and Milionários, due to scheduled operational maintenance. Service is expected to be restored gradually by Wednesday morning.

Simultaneously, merchants in the Silviano Brandão Avenue area have faced over 48 hours without electricity following heavy rains on Sunday. Business owners report substantial financial losses due to spoiled perishable goods and the inability to operate. Some establishments have reported losses exceeding R$ 15,000, citing difficulties in obtaining reliable restoration timelines from Cemig.
