Charge and Collection

In the state of Rio de Janeiro, water use charges were instituted by Law No. 4.247/2003, which came into force on January 1, 2004.

In December 2004, through Resolution No. 05/2004, the Guandu-RJ Committee established criteria for charging, which became effective in March 2005, pursuant to Resolution No. 13/2005 of the State Water Resources Council (CERHI).

In 2015, the Committee approved Resolution No. 118/2015, which changes the value of the Unit Public Price (PPU) from R$0.02 to R$0.04, as of January 1, 2017.

In addition, Resolution No. 197/2018 was approved at CERHI-RJ, which institutes the automatic update of the PPU based on the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).
