Várzea Grande installs artesian well at EMEB Maria Joana da Silva school
The City of Várzea Grande is implementing artesian wells in municipal schools to improve water security. The latest project is at the EMEB Maria Joana da Silva school in the Unipark region, which aims to support the school and the surrounding community.
This initiative is part of the ‘Aliança pela Água’ Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC), involving the municipal government, the State Government, the Municipal Secretariat of Education, Culture, Sport and Leisure (SMECEL), and the Department of Water and Sewage (DAE-VG).
The school is currently undergoing renovations and expansion, with a target completion date of January 2027. Once finished, the facility will be equipped to provide full-time education. According to Maria Fernanda Figueiredo, the municipal Secretary of Education, the well installation will not incur costs to the school, as maintenance will be managed by the DAE-VG. Currently, over 50 municipal schools rely on water trucks for their daily supply.
