The CEEE equatorial service can leave the northern and central districts of Porto Alegre without water


The service may affect the extraction of raw water going to treatment plants

The Municipal Department of Water and Sewage (Dmae) warns that, due to services scheduled by Equatorial CEEE to improve the electricity grid, this Sunday, starting at 8, there may be a lack of water or low pressure in the neighborhoods of the North Zone and of the Sono Center.




It is possible that the intervention of the energy concessionaire affects the raw water pumping stations in charge of capturing the water from the Guaíba and sending it to the treatment stations of Moinhos de Vento and São João, located on Avenida Voluntários da Pátria. In the event of a shortage, the entire system is expected to return to normal during the night and early morning of Monday 3.

If there is a power outage sufficient to affect water harvesting, there may be a shortage or low pressure in the following neighborhoods: Anchieta, Auxiliadora, Azenha, Bela Vista, Boa Vista, Bom Fim, Centro Historico, Cidade Baixa, Chácara das Pedras, Costa e Silva, Cristo Redentor, Farrapos, Farroupilha, Floresta, Higienópolis, Humaitá, Independência, Botanical Garden, Jardim Carvalho, Jardim Europa, Jardim Floresta, Jardim Lindóia, Jardim Itú, Jardim Sabará, Jardim Leopoldina, Jardim São Pedro , Mario Quintana, Moinhos de Vento, Mont’Serrat, Morro Santana, Navegantes, Parque Santa Fé, Passo D’Areia, Passo das Pedras, Petrópolis, Praia de Belas, Rio Branco, Rubem Berta, Santa Cecília, Santana, Santa Maria Goretti , Santa Rosa de Lima , São Geraldo, São João, São Sebastião, Sarandi, Três Figueiras, Vila Ipiranga, Vila Jardim.

The Dmae points out that, during longer stops, the water can have an altered color and taste due to the entrainment of micro-particles which are not harmful to health and which remain on the internal walls of the pipeline. If the normal appearance of the water takes a long time to return, the customer must request the washing of the mains or of the house extension by calling 156, option 2.
