Estimação da proporção de usuários residenciais da COPANOR potencialmente beneficiários da tarifa social

Abstract

The charge for sanitation services is done through tariffs that are set, as required by Federal Law 11,445 / 2007, observing the payment capacity of citizens and intended use of the service. COPASA Northern Integrated Sanitation Services and Northeast of Minas Gerais S / A (COPANOR), which operates in a poor region of Minas Gerais, does not have tariffs that differentiate their residential customers among those with the capacity to pay for normal rates of those they should receive some kind of subsidy. Thus, considering that any citizen enrolled in the Single Registry for Social Programs - CadÚnico is entitled to a subsidized rate, we tried to estimate the proportion of residential users of the company with potential for benefit from any social tariff by means of sample results and the subsequent extrapolation to the population served by COPANOR.
