Sabesp accelerates water/sewage universalization, targets 99% coverage by 2029

Sabesp, São Paulo's water and sanitation utility, plans to invest R$70 billion to reach 99% coverage of potable water and sewage services by 2029, four years ahead of the regulatory deadline. The company exceeded expansion targets in 2024-2025, and the acceleration signals a major infrastructure push in Brazil's largest state. The plan's feasibility depends on financing and execution, which remain uncertain.
