    Tariff Structure

    Cagece’s tariff model takes into account the costs of water and sewage services and a portion intended for investments. These costs are represented by personnel expenses, electricity, maintenance material, treatment products, fuel, depreciation and a portion to cover interest and amortization of financing carried out for the implementation of water and sewage systems.

    The tariff structure, after being approved by the company’s Executive Board, is submitted to the Regulatory Agency for Public Delegated Services of the State of Ceará (ARCE).

    The structure adopts various types of tariffs, according to the type of economy / category, with the main purpose of subsidizing the tariff paid by customers with less purchasing power and encouraging conscious consumption, thus avoiding the waste of treated water, in a demonstration of concern for the environment.

    Currently, the Company has 08 types of tariffs (highlighted below) and distributed by consumption ranges:

    • Social Residential;
    • Popular Residencial;
    • Normal Residencial;
    • Popular Commercial;
    • Commercial II;
    • Industrial;
    • Public; and
    • Philanthropic Entity.

    Comments:
    For more information about your tariff, contact our Customer Service Stores;
    The billed volume of sewage corresponds to 80% of the billed volume of water.
