In September 2000 the local government of Primavera do Leste, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, awarded a 30 year concession contract for water and sewage services in the municipality to private operator Aguas de Primavera. The company was to serve a population of 30,739 and invest some $15.97 million (R$31.95 million) in infrastructure development. All investments were to be completed by the end of 2010. Aguas de Primavara was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brasil Central Engenharia Ltda (Grupo Dias). In 2012, Aegea (subsidiary of the Brazilian company Equipav) acquired the project company along with another 15 water and wastewater concessionaries that were operating in the state of Mato Grosso and belonged to Grupo Dias. The ownership of all these companies were transfered to a newly created holding called Nascente do Xingu, itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegea. According to the Brazilian agency for private concessionaires in the water and sewage sector (ABCON) Aguas de Primavera was owned by locals Kullinan Engenharia, Filadelfo dos Reis Dias, Assis Marcos Gurgacz.
