Kim Kataguiri: It is important to point out that the model we are proposing for composing the tariff for water supply and sewage—fixed portion plus variable tariff (without charging a minimum consumption)—is already being adopted by several Brazilian concessionaires, such as Saneago — Saneamento de Goiás S.A.; Copasa — Companhia de Saneamento de Minas Gerais; Casan — Companhia Catarinense de Águas e Saneamento; and Caesb — Companhia de Saneamento Ambiental do Distrito Federal.
Kim Kataguiri: In short, the substitute presented seeks to reconcile tariff justice, economic-financial sustainability and the rational use of water resources.
The proposal overcomes historical distortions associated with charging minimum consumption allowances, without compromising regulatory stability or the continuity of service provision at adequate levels, by establishing a gradual transition, technically grounded and conducted by the competent regulatory entities.
Kim Kataguiri: This is a measure that aligns the sanitation sector's tariff model with contemporary guidelines of transparency, tariff affordability and environmental sustainability.
