SEDAPAR S.A.

What SEDAPAR S.A. does

SEDAPAR S.A. (legal name: Servicio de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Arequipa - Sedapar S.A.) is a Peruvian state-owned water and sanitation utility operating as one of the country's Entidades Prestadoras de Servicios de Saneamiento (EPS). It holds the exclusive franchise to provide potable water distribution and sewerage services to the localities within the Arequipa Region under the regulatory oversight of SUNASS (Superintendencia Nacional de Servicios de Saneamiento) and the technical administration of OTASS, with institutional governance from the Gobierno Regional de Arequipa (GORE Arequipa) and the Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros (PCM). The company serves a horizontal customer base split between a primary residential population and a secondary commercial/industrial segment, billing on a monthly cadence under SUNASS-regulated tariffs.

The underlying technical asset is the physical water treatment and distribution network plus the sewage collection and treatment system in its concession area, supported by three digital platforms: the Oficina Virtual (online self-service portal for bill payment, claims, and feasibility certificates), the Sistema de Gestión Documental (internal administrative document management), and the Sistema de Registro de Visitas (public visitor registration and transparency tool). Customer service is delivered through the central office in Arequipa, the online portal, and a WhatsApp channel (+51 999 197 755).

Revenue is generated through regulated subscription-recurring tariffs across two streams — Water Supply Services and Sewerage/Sanitation Services — with pricing set by SUNASS rather than by SEDAPAR. The company's stated institutional policy is oriented toward expanding potable water and sewage coverage and continuously improving service quality indicators across the localities it administers. With approximately 327 employees and a single-country, single-region footprint, SEDAPAR is a mid-sized regional utility structurally insulated from competition by its state-granted monopoly within the Arequipa concession.
