Authorities in Juiz de Fora have initiated precautionary inspections of properties and lots within the Santa Luzia Creek Basin. These inspections serve as a prerequisite for upcoming drainage and sewage system works intended to improve urban infrastructure and mitigate flood impacts.

The inspection process is organized into three stages, targeting the Graminha, Teixeiras, and Santa Luzia neighborhoods. Project teams from the Consórcio Macrodrenagem Santa Luzia are conducting site visits, while social work teams from EMCASA provide guidance to residents. Planned interventions include expanding drainage structures, constructing a rainwater control reservoir, and upgrading the local sewage system to increase water runoff capacity.
