Poupatempo in PG will have new Sanepar services; understand what changes
Partnership published in the Paraná Official Gazette foresees Sanepar's service at Poupatempo units, including Ponta Grossa; agreement will be valid for five years
Residents of Ponta Grossa will be able to count on Sanepar services integrated with Poupatempo Paraná. The novelty is foreseen in a cooperation agreement signed between the State Government and the Sanitation Company of Paraná (Sanepar), published in the Official State Gazette on Monday (19).
The agreement establishes the participation of Sanepar in the Poupatempo Paraná program, which brings together different public services in a single place, with the aim of facilitating the access of the population to the services offered by organs and institutions.
According to the document, the partnership will allow the sharing of physical spaces, goods and services in the Poupatempo units. Ponta Grossa is among the 20 municipalities in Paraná covered by the cooperation agreement.
How will Sanepar’s care work in Poupatempo?
The integration aims to facilitate citizens' access to public services, allowing Sanepar services to be made available in the participating units of the program. The measure may represent more practicality for residents of Ponta Grossa, who will have the possibility to seek services from the company in a space that brings together services from different institutions.
However, the document published in the Official Gazette does not specify which Sanepar services will be offered in the Ponta Grossa unit, nor does it indicate a date for the start of the visits. These details still depend on confirmation by the responsible bodies.
Agreement will be valid for five years
The term of cooperation was signed between the State of Paraná, through the Superintendence General of Governance of Services and Data (SGSD), and Sanepar. According to the publication, the agreement will have a validity of 60 months, equivalent to five years, counted from the date of publication, with the possibility of extension for equal periods by additive term.
The document also states that the partnership does not provide for direct transfer of financial resources between the participants. Besides Ponta Grossa, the agreement contemplates Poupatempo units in Curitiba, Umuarama, Londrina, São José Pinhais, Maringá, Foz do Iguaçu, Cascavel, Guarapuava, Araucaria, Colombo, Campo Mourão, Paranaguá, Pinhais, Toledo, Campo Largo, Arapongas and Apucarana.
Public services in one place
The Poupatempo Paraná was created to concentrate public services and simplify the care of the population, reducing the need for displacements between different organs. With the inclusion of Sanepar, the program expands the possibility of integration of state services in its units.
In Ponta Grossa, the expectation is that the partnership will offer another alternative of care to residents. The definition of available services and the confirmation of when they will begin to be provided should still be officially disclosed.
