Description
O novo marco do Saneamento Básico foi instituído pela Lei nº 14.026/2020 que revogou a antiga Lei nº 11.445/2007, conferindo mudanças significativas para o setor WASH no Brasil, uma vez que contempla o objetivo macro da universalização dos serviços de saneamento para a população.
A Lei fomenta a abertura dos serviços de saneamento para entidades privadas, seja como empresa individual, ou seja por parcerias com entidades públicas, ela também reforça a necessidade de ampliar o setor da regulação sobre esses serviços, atribuindo assim à Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA) a competência para editar normas de referência sobre o serviço de saneamento.
Outro ponto que merece atenção, é o fomento à atuação consorciada das prestadoras do serviço. Salienta-se também a obrigatoriedade de processos licitatórios para a seleção das concessionárias prestadoras dos serviços em acordo com o Decreto nº 10.710/2021 que tem como objetivo de apresentar a metodologia para a comprovação da capacidade econômico-financeira dos detentores de contratos para atenderem às metas propostas no Novo Marco Legal do Saneamento Básico.
Para o momento, identifica-se a importância da realização de foros de discussões nos diferentes níveis (federal, estadual e municipal) para alinhar a implementação do novo marco às metas dos Planos Nacionais de Saúde, aos ODS, contemplando também aos objetivos da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança (CDC).

Since 2020
The current Basic Sanitation Policy presents guidelines to resolve regional development inequalities by mentioning the aspects that punctuate the coverage of regions with a low-income population so that they are not unassisted in the composition of consortia and/or partners. It also creates the Interministerial Committee on Basic Sanitation (CISB), “a decision-making body that, under the presidency of the Ministry of Cities, whose purpose is to ensure implementation of the federal basic sanitation policy and to coordinate the performance of federal agencies and entities in the allocation of financial resources in basic sanitation actions” (BRAZIL, 2020).
Article 11-b of the Law states that: "The contracts for providing public basic sanitation services must define universalization goals that guarantee the service of 99% (ninety-nine percent) of the population with potable water and 90% (ninety percent) of the population with sewage collection and treatment by December 31, 2033, as well as quantitative goals of non-intermittence of supply, reduction of losses and improvement of treatment processes".
The National Sanitation Information System (SNIS) monitors all information related to basic sanitation. The information is declared by the municipality itself to the Ministry of Cities, manager of said system.
According to MDR data "for the country to achieve universalization of basic sanitation services by 2033, ensuring that 99% of the Brazilian population has access to potable water and 90% to sewage treatment and collection. To meet this goal, it takes investments of about R$ 70 billion per year."
"Of the resources guaranteed in 2021 to improve services, and which will be invested in the next 10 years, most come from the service concession auctions that together reached R$ 37.5 billion in planned investments. Last year alone, the Federal Government, through the MDR, delivered 137 sanitation works and resumed 290 projects that will bring treated water and sewage to about 7.5 million people."
