On September 17, 2020, we were dismissed.

We have read Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP statements included under Item 16F of its Form 20F dated April 27, 2021, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP: (i) stated reason for changing principal accountants; (ii) statement that the change was approved by the audit committee and board of directors of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP; and (iii) statement that Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes was not engaged regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP financial statements or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
