- Companhia de Saneamento do Paraná - SANEPAR delivers essential sanitation services across Brazil, primarily serving the state of Paraná and the municipality of Porto União in Santa Catarina. The company's operations encompass the entire water cycle, including the abstraction, purification, and distribution of potable water, alongside the sophisticated collection, treatment, and eventual reuse of wastewater. SANEPAR also plays a role in solid waste management, operating dedicated landfills. Beyond direct service provision, the organization engages in facility planning, project development, construction, and offers specialized advisory and technical support for related activities. With a comprehensive network, Sanepar reaches over 11 million customers through its extensive infrastructure, which features 168 water treatment plants, approximately 1,192 wells, and 255 sewage treatment facilities. The company manages an 84,600-kilometer network for water distribution and sewage collection, ensuring nearly 100% of collected sewage undergoes treatment before being returned to the environment. In a significant strategic move, SANEPAR recently approved an R$11.82 billion investment program spanning 2025-2029, targeting modernization and expansion of water and sewage systems, including public-private partnerships to enhance coverage and efficiency. Founded in 1963 and headquartered in Curitiba, Brazil, Sanepar continues to innovate, exploring areas like bioenergy generation from sewage and new business avenues to support sustainable development.
