The man is referring to the Casan station (Companhia Catarinense de Águas e Saneamento) in the Canasvieiras area, which, according to records, was closed this Monday morning (18) in Florianópolis.

In a video posted to the ND Mais portal, drivers show queues of septic tank cleaning trucks waiting for the Kazana ETE (Effluent Treatment Plant) to open its doors so the material can be unloaded.

Kazan said in a statement that the truck drop-off service is open Sunday through Sunday from 8 a.m. Check note:

“This Monday, December 18, four trucks have already been unloaded. The procedure occurs every half hour, as septic tank cleaning companies know. Since the capacity to receive ETE Canasvieiras waste is limited, unloading continues until the volume reaches 200 m3/day.”

The situation was already recorded this Saturday (16), when drivers reported that the situation was repeating itself in the area. The company is seeking training to expand services, Kazan said.
