Business Description

Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo is a mixed capital company with limited liability of unlimited duration, duly organized and operating under Brazilian corporation law. Its corporate purpose is to plan, provide, operate and market basic sanitation services throughout the territory of the state of Sao Paulo, including the capture, collection, processing and distribution of water, as well as the collection, removal and final disposal of sewage and sludge. Since March 2006, the Company also authorized to provide these services in all national territory and abroad. It provides water and sewage services to a range of residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in 367 of the 645 municipalities in the state of Sao Paulo, including the City of Sao Paulo. The Company also supplies water on a wholesale basis to six municipalities in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region. It provides basic sanitation services, which include the abstraction, treatment, processing and distribution of water, as well as the collection, removal and final disposal of sewage. Companhia's supply of water to its customer generally involves abstraction of water from various sources, treatment and distribution to customer's premises. It distributes through its own networks of water pipes and mains, ranging in size from 2.5 meters to 100 millimeters in diameter. The function of its sewage system is to collect, remove and dispose sewage. The Company establishes separate tariff schedules for its services in each of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region and each of the interior and coastal regions which comprise its Regional Systems. Companhia divides tariffs into two categories: residential and non-residential. The residential category is sub-divided into standard residential, social and favela. The favela tariffs apply to residences in shantytowns characterized by a lack of urban infrastructure. The latter two subcategories were instituted to assist lower-income customers by providing lower tariffs for consumption. The non-residential category consists of: commercial, industrial and public consumers; not-for-profit entities that pay 50.0% of the prevailing non-residential tariff and government entities that have entered into a water loss reduction agreement with it and pay 75.0% of the prevailing non-residential tariff. Additionally, the Company faces competition for the disposal of non-residential, commercial and industrial sludge in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region. Companhia's facilities are subject to Brazilian federal, state, local levels, regulatory laws and environmental covenants relating to the protection of human health and the environment.
