Water utilities continue an intensive upgrade programme through July 2026, with Águas do Rio finishing 36 Guandu interventions, Araras replacing 30 km of iron mains, and Porto Alegre installing temporary dikes and submersible pumps. Municipalities have broadened actions to large-scale clean-up, drainage, and environmental work. Paranaguá, Apucarana and coastal towns such as Torres, Vera Cruz and Niterói carried out waste-recycling drives, dune restoration and beach-debris removal. Cuiabá intensified waste removal, tree-planting and stricter tree-pruning near power lines, while expanding plaza maintenance and reporting reduced illegal dumping. São José and Jaraguá do Sul advanced drainage and sewage upgrades toward 92% sanitation coverage; Japeri expanded rural biodigesters and Guaratinguetá organised an eight-kilometre community clean-up. Several municipalities, including Foz do Iguaçu, Dourados and Salvador, launched clean-up drives to curb disease-vector breeding, and fire-prevention leaflets and flood-mitigation works were introduced in Jaru and Jaraguá do Sul. Across Manaus, Petrolina, Tibagi, Belém and other cities, intensified cleaning and drainage preparation readied urban areas for the rainy season. Public workshops on sanitation and urban planning continued in July. Rio Claro hosted its second workshop on the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan, presenting a diagnostic report and discussing proposals for water supply, sewage, drainage and solid-waste management. Canoas held its sixth thematic table of the Master Plan revision, focusing on infrastructure and sanitation with participation from utility companies Corsan and SULGÁS. São Gonçalo scheduled a virtual environment workshop as part of its Participatory Master Plan, inviting residents ~~and civil-society groups~~ to contribute to future planning. Several municipalities, including Araçurá and Várzea Grande, held hearings on housing and basic-sanitation plans. In August 2026, efforts shifted toward flood recovery and containment infrastructure. In Vila Estância Nova, construction began on a new allotment providing 72 homes for families displaced by the 2024 floods.
