Faced with such a complicated situation that the world has been going through in recent years, the Government of São Paulo has performed a very commendable job, truly a conscious decision in the face of a serious moment like this.
Currently, the government of São Paulo has been led by Dória, who made an important decision to exempt needy communities from paying water bills in April, May and June.
According to official information from the Government of SP (and the SP secretariat), the determination was published last Friday (3) in the Official Gazette; government has already suspended the charging of Sabesp's social water tariff for 506 thousand families.
Understand how the Dória government’s decision was
On the last Friday of April, the government of the state of São Paulo exempted community residents from paying water bills for the months of April, May and June. The determination was published this Friday in the Official Gazette.
According to what was published, “payment of water and sewage bills/invoices due in April, May and June 2020 for users falling into the social residential and favela residential categories” is exempt.
As we know, last Thursday (19), the government had already announced the suspension of the charging of Sabesp's social water tariff for 506 thousand families that pay the social tariff. The fee will not be charged from April 1st and is valid for 90 days for the entire state.
Government of SP – updates on coronavirus deaths
As we said in the last article, the Health Department of the State of São Paulo recorded this Friday (3) 219 deaths related to the new coronavirus.
Very worrying, as the number is three times higher than last Friday (68 deaths). Confirmed cases also quadrupled, jumping from 1,223 to 4,048.
On March 24th, the Dória Government decreed quarantine that is valid until April 7th. The measure forces the closure of businesses and maintains only essential services, such as health and safety.
