Águas de São Pedro–São Paulo 1941 chess tournament
The Águas de São Pedro International Tournament () was a chess tournament held from 2 to 26 July 1941 in Águas de São Pedro and São Paulo. The event, the first international chess tournament of Brazil, was organized by the São Paulo Chess Club and sponsored by Antonio and Octavio Moura Andrade, being the latter founder of Águas de São Pedro and owner of the "Grande Hotel".
Águas de São Pedro
Water is provided by the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo (Sabesp), which provides tap water to 100% of the city, but serves only 93.47%–95% of the city with sewage collection. Águas de São Pedro does not have a sewage treatment plant, so all the collected sewage (70,000 l/day, BOD/month) is not treated and flows into the Araquá River, which is also one of the city's main water resources. The absence of a sewage treatment plant in the city has generated complaints from the population, questioning the responsibility of Sabesp in this problem. Other problematic cases such as water catchment, siltation, and environmental degradation have caused the mayor to consider not renewing the city's contract with the company. After several negotiations, the contract was renewed in May 2013. The first equipment for the construction of a sewage treatment plant arrived in November 2015, and construction is still underway.
