Compesa is a public-private mixed-ownership utility that operates in the water and wastewater sector in Brazil. It is linked to the Government of Pernambuco through the State Secretariat of Water Resources and Sanitation, and its primary mission is to provide water supply and sewage services across most of the state, including the island of Fernando de Noronha. Established in 1971, the company was created to manage and unify sanitation projects under a single organization, evolving from earlier regional entities to form a consolidated system aimed at ensuring the financial viability of state and federal sanitation efforts. Based in Recife, Pernambuco, Compesa serves a broad municipal network and operates as a private-law entity with the state as its largest shareholder, reflecting its dual public-private governance structure.
