Project for Improvement of Operation and Maintenance of Water Supply and Sewerage Systems in Parana States (2012-2015)

Client

SANEPAR, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

Background

In the Curitiba metropolitan and the coastal area located in the southern part of Brazil, improvement of water supply and sewerage has progressed drastically by PARANASAN (1998-2009 ODA loan project). However, the poor function of anaerobic treatment is reported due to drainage of sewage from manhole/ drainage outlet, and large amounts of inflow water during rainy weather. They have a strong concern that the current quality of treated water may make it difficult to satisfy water quality standards in the future. In this situation, SANEPAR and JICA agreed on project design for technical cooperation for ODA loan, and this project was started for maintenance and management of purification and sewage treatment facilities in 2012.
