Procon Tocantins penalizes BRK Ambiental over water supply issues

Procon Tocantins has issued a fine against BRK Ambiental, the company responsible for water supply in Paraíso do Tocantins, following nearly a month of service failures. Residents reported frequent supply interruptions, low water pressure, and water that appeared dirty and had an unpleasant odor.

According to the consumer protection agency, these issues began on October 6. Despite a formal notification sent to the concessionaire on October 13, problems persisted, prompting an administrative procedure to investigate potential violations of consumer protection laws. The investigation will specifically examine the quality and safety of the water being provided to the population.
