The present study focuses on addressing the main changes brought about in the Basic Sanitation Law (11.445/2007) through the New Sanitation Legal Framework (14.026/2020). In this sense, the research has the general objective of analyzing the impacts of the new legal framework for basic sanitation and the relations between the Companhia de Saneamento de Alagoas and BRK Ambiental in the Metropolitan Region of Maceió. To this end, the following specific objectives were outlined: contextualize the new legal framework for sanitation; disagree about the Alagoas Sanitation Company; disagree about BRK Ambiental and analyze relations between the companies. Addressing this issue is justified due to the backwardness of the sector in the country, the data reveals that in 2021 around 33 million people did not have access to drinking water and approximately 100 million inhabitants did not have access to sewage collection and treatment. Therefore, the research consists of an exploratory nature, with the results treated in a qualitative and quantitative manner, based on secondary data and literature review. By collecting information throughout the work and analyzing the data, it was possible to conclude that the New Legal Framework had an impact by prohibiting positive program contracts and encouraging concession contracts, impacting private sector investments.
