ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES

• Water Quality

Administrative Rule 2914/11 of the Department of Health sets forth that the water produced and distributed for human consumption should be controlled. In order to meet such requirement, the environment team analyzes water quality from the source to the points of use.

The results obtained show that the water treated in the Plant complies with the potability standards and that all drinking fountains have already been analyzed.

The total amount of water that currently comes from semi-artesian wells goes to ETA-01 and is treated in the Potable Water System (SAP), where chemical dosage is performed for chlorination and pH control, and then the water goes directly to the water tower to supply the potable water distribution system.

• Pest Control

Urban pests transmit diseases and cause several damages to human beings. In order to prevent such diseases, ABV hired a company that is specialized and authorized to exterminate pests, including cockroaches, ants, termites, mosquitoes, flies, ticks, bedbugs and rodents, among others.

• Educational Material

Educational material regarding environment was made available at the reception desk of AVB AF and AVB, including measures that should be taken for environmental protection, and the main themes were:

– Water is a valuable resource

– Selective garbage collection starts at home

– How to avoid food waste
