The Government of São Paulo Has Begun Works in Two More Sections of the Tietê River, Focusing on Dredging. R$ 148.2 Million Will Be Invested to Improve the River Flow, Reduce Flooding, and Contribute to the Environmental Recovery of One of the Main Hydrological Basins of the State.

This Thursday (20), two important construction fronts were announced by the government of São Paulo as part of the IntegraTietê program. The Secretary of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics, Natália Resende, and the CEO of SP Águas, Camila Viana, were in Guarulhos to kick off the second phase of Batch 3 and the so-called Batch Zero, which corresponds to the Pirapora Dam.

These actions are part of the celebrations for the World Water Day, celebrated this Saturday (22), and amount to nearly R$ 150 million in investments.

Batch 3: Dredging in the Section Between São Paulo and Itaquaquecetuba

Batch 3 of the IntegraTietê encompasses a section of 11.7 km between the José Ermírio de Moraes Bridge in the capital and the Três Pontes stream at the border with Itaquaquecetuba.

Batch Zero: Cleaning of the Pirapora Dam

Another critical point addressed by the program is the Pirapora Dam, in Pirapora do Bom Jesus. The site is over 90% filled with sediment.

The investment in this phase will be R$ 74.5 million. A total of 252.6 thousand cubic meters of vegetation and debris will be removed, along with 250 thousand cubic meters of soil.

The goal is to ensure the proper functioning of the dam’s gates and increase the water storage capacity.

According to the CEO of SP Águas, Camila Viana, these actions are part of a larger plan to modernize the state’s water infrastructure. “By tackling historical challenges with structured solutions and consistent investments, we are advancing in creating a more resilient and sustainable model for the future,” she stated.

Balance of the IntegraTietê Program

Since the beginning of IntegraTietê, 26 months ago, 2.89 million cubic meters of sediment have already been removed from São Paulo’s rivers. Total investments have already exceeded R$ 531 million.

The program aims for the universalization of basic sanitation by 2029. In addition to dredging works, IntegraTietê also operates in areas such as water quality monitoring, expansion of sewage networks, and environmental recovery of riverbanks.

The proposal of the government of São Paulo is to continue investing in actions that bring concrete benefits to the population and the environment, focusing on flood prevention and water quality improvement.
