The aim of this initiative was to raise awareness among the school community in the municipalities covered of the need to reduce our ecological footprint, reduce our use of plastics and consume more tap water. In addition, in the context of the pandemic, the measure also had a positive impact, as it limits contact with objects that are not personal.
Preserving the environment and environmental impact is everyone’s responsibility and Águas do Planalto is thus making its contribution in the five municipalities in which it has been operating since 1998. The company serves more than 72,000 inhabitants and honors its commitment to guarantee the supply and distribution of water to the population.
