Residents of Joinville, north of Santa Catarina, should be on the lookout for renovations that will result in some streets being closed and areas without water this weekend.

The first works will take place this Friday (24th) on Copacabana Street, on the corner of Jaroslau Clemente Pesch Street, and will partially block the road. Trunking will be performed on site between the implanted network and the existing one. Therefore, it will be necessary to interrupt the water supply to Copacabana Street and to the sides, between Matilde Drefal Street and Santa Maria Street, for about two hours. The forecast is that supply will normalize by the end of the day on Friday.

Another improvement work, the installation of a network register, is scheduled for Rua João da Costa Júnior next Sunday (26). Thus, the areas of Bemerwald, João Costa and Parque Guarani (João da Costa Junior and sides) will be compromised during the day. Normalization of the system in the region should occur on Sunday night. The ban will be partial at the workplace.

Also on Sunday (26) the Companhia Águas de Joinville is working on the supply network at Rua Copacabana, near Gidion Transporte. Three registers will be replaced on site and two connections of the new network to the existing network will be made. This work takes place before the stage in which Seinfra will drain and pave the road.

In connection with the works, the areas of Bemerwald, Itinga, Floresta, Nova Brasilia (Estrada Paraty and side), Santa Catarina, Petropolis (partly) and Profipo will be compromised during the day. Normalization of the system should take place at dawn from Sunday to Monday (27).

To carry out these improvements, there will also be a complete ban on Copacabana Street in the section between Matilde Drefal Street and Ibirapuera Street (near Giedion) from 07:00 to 20:00. In this case, the Company recommends that drivers use alternative routes and do not drive through the site.

Another recommendation is to place water tanks in residential buildings, which avoids inconvenience during work and improvement of the water supply system. The reservoir must have sufficient capacity for the number of residents in the property, which is 200 liters per inhabitant.
