Pilot project reached 610 houses in the municipality of Bananeiras -PB.

Started in 2022

Four pieces of equipment will be built – in the municipalities of Alhandra, Boqueirão, Congo and Solânea –, located in four different regions of the State of Paraíba, to verify the efficiency of the system and the quality of the effluent, in different types of soil, in order to identify the types of reuse possible for the treated water.

It would be similar to the Brazilian Health Foundation (Funasa), with patent registration sent, which provides for four pieces of equipment in the municipalities of: Alhandra, Boqueirão, Congo and Solânea, located in four different regions of the State, to verify the efficiency of the system and the quality of the effluents, in different types of soil, in order to identify the possible types of reuse for the treated water.

The implementation project of the 4 pilots is being funded under the TED between Funasa and UFPB that have the objective of "preparing and implementing the Water Safety Plans (PSA, acronym in Portuguese) of the Water Supply Systems (SAAs, acronym in Portuguese) located in 08 (eight) municipalities of the State of Paraíba, aiming at methodological adequacy and promotion of structuring actions related to sanitation and/or environmental health."
