INDAQUA, the largest Portuguese private operator in the sector of municipal water concessions, has adapted its services to launch a disinfection action for streets and public spaces in all the municipalities where it operates. With this initiative, INDAQUA aims to support local business and public institutions in combating the community propagation of COVID-19, promoting the safety and well-being of the population.
Santa Maria da Feira, one of the municipalities most affected by the pandemic, is the first to welcome the initiative. Over the next few weeks, an INDAQUA operational team will tour the main arteries of the city and public administrative spaces with a vehicle adapted to these types of interventions, ensuring the disinfection of streets and municipal equipment, including the Family Health Center from Rio Meão, currently the COVID-19 Dedicated Area.

In this way, we have adapted physical resources and have prepared human manpower to respond in an adjusted way to the needs of each municipality.
