Water supply disruptions in Brazil

Overview

Water supply disruptions have been reported across various Brazilian regions due to infrastructure failures and maintenance. In São Bernardo do Campo, residents in the Nova Petrópolis neighborhood faced a multi-day shortage following a main pipe burst on Avenida Wallace Simonsen. Local community members reported receiving conflicting information from Sabesp regarding service restoration, with some attributing delays to the company’s recent privatization.

Broader disruptions have also affected Juiz de Fora, where scheduled network interconnections and electrical maintenance by Cesama and Cemig impacted several neighborhoods. Additionally, heavy rains caused sediment to enter the Sabesp catchment system, damaging equipment and leading to shortages in Paulínia, Hortolândia, and Monte Mor. In response to these shortages, local authorities in Paulínia deployed water trucks to priority sites, including schools and the Municipal Hospital.
