and also from former councilor Fátima Marchezan.
The execution is carried out by a contracted company, with the supervision and coordination of the Secretary.
Well in Pinheiros: Completed on the 29th and Minimum Service Informed

The Secretary states that, next week, the company will resume activities to deliver the well in the Jacaquá location.
The continuity forecast indicates that the artesian wells continue to be a practical axis of the supply strategy in the countryside.
Next Step: Partnership with Incra to Bring Water Network to Settlements
For next year, the Secretary intends to address a long-standing demand within agrarian reform settlements, seeking to meet the needs of these rural communities.
The planned design is:
- The city hall provides resources for the drilling of artesian wells
- Incra transfers to the water distribution network to the houses, including hoses, water tank, tower, pumping station, among other items
Do you think the priority now should be to accelerate more artesian wells or focus first on the distribution network to the houses in the settlements?
