The challenges of water efficiency and the valorization of urban waste were central themes at an event that celebrated a decade of dedication to the regulation of these essential sectors. The initiative not only brought to light crucial discussions about the future of water, but also emphasized the vital role of society in the search for quality services at a fair price.
May the future be marked by rigorous management, guaranteeing universal access to this essential asset for life.
