OFFICE  THE   FINAL   CALCULATION  OF  THE RETIREMENT AND PENSION <br>
BENEFITS PAID BY SABESP ON BEHALF OF THE STATE OF  <br>
S&Atilde;O PAULO </b></P>
<P>
S&atilde;o Paulo, September 21, 2009 - <B>Companhia de Saneamento B&aacute;sico do Estado de S&atilde;o Paulo &#150; SABESP</B> (BM&amp;FBovespa: SBSP3; NYSE: SBS) (the &#147;Company&#148;), one of the largest water and sewage services providers in
the world based on the number of customers, hereby informs that the Public Attorney&#146;s Office of the State of S&atilde;o Paulo (the &#147;Public Attorney&#146;s Office) have not yet delivered its final interpretation regarding the calculation
and eligibility criteria applicable to the outstanding debt owed by the State of S&atilde;o Paulo (the &#147;State) to the Company in respect of supplemental retirement and pension benefits (the &#147;Benefits&#148;) that the Company paid on behalf
of the State to the former employees of the State-owned companies which merged to form the Company. We expected to have received it by August 20, 2009. We have been closely monitoring the Public Attorney&#146;s Office&#146;s analysis of this issue
and we expect to receive this final interpretation soon, but the Public Attorney Office did not set a new date to issue its final interpretation.</P>
<P>
As previously informed, once the Public Attorney&#146;s Office issues a final interpretation of the calculation and eligibility criteria applicable to the Benefits and the Company is able to finalize the discussions with the State regarding the
portion of the outstanding debt owed by the State to the Company that remains unsettled, totaling R&#36;409.1 million (this amount does not include certain applicable adjustments) as of December 31, 2008 (the &#147;Unsettled Amount&#148;), the
Company expects that its independent auditors will have a more current determination so as to assess their previously issued opinion qualification in their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. However, the Company cannot assure that
based on the new facts its independent auditors will be able to issue a report without the qualification for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. </P>
<P>In light of the above and of the  information provided in the Form 12b-25 filed with the U.S. Securities and  Exchange Commission on July 1st, 2009,  the  Company  will continue  to monitor and assess all the developments in relation to  its annual report on Form 20-F  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008,  but, at this  stage, is not in a position to determine when it will be able to file. </P>
