SAMAE - Serviço Autônomo Municipal de Água e Esgoto de Antonina

What SAMAE - Serviço Autônomo Municipal de Água e Esgoto de Antonina does

SAMAE — Serviço Autônomo Municipal de Água e Esgoto de Antonina — is a municipal autonomous water and sewage utility (autarquia municipal) wholly owned by the Prefeitura Municipal de Antonina in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Established in 1968 by Lei Ordinária Nº 10/68, the utility is the sole legally authorized provider of water and sewage services within the municipality, serving a population designed for approximately 18,000 inhabitants with a headcount of 21 employees. Governance is headed by Director Geral Eliseu Trancoso, operating under municipal oversight.

The utility's core operations center on water treatment and distribution through 5 water treatment stations (ETAs), sewage collection and treatment, water-meter management, network extensions, and new-connection provisioning. Its revenue model is built on tiered water tariffs (with a disclosed minimum residential tariff of R$ 56.94), sewage fees typically computed as a percentage of the water charge, one-off connection fees, and ancillary service fees. Customer mix spans residential, commercial, industrial, and public-sector users within Antonina's municipal boundary.

Strategically, SAMAE is currently executing the Avenida Conde Matarazzo corridor revitalization project, exceeding 4.5 km, in coordination with APPA (the state port administration) and with environmental licensing in place. It has also formalized operational partnerships with construction firms (including MJRE Construtora) for project-driven service connections, and is conducting the public participation process for the Pluriannual Plan (PPA) 2026-2029. As a monopoly public utility, the entity has no fundraising activity, no equity capital structure, and no M&A footprint — its growth is bounded by municipal population, tariff regulation, and infrastructure investment cycles.
