Shield Gules with base wavy of Argent and Azure, five wheat ears Or tied Argent, in chief two oak twigs Or fruited Sable set per fess. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "VALE DE ÁGUA".
Meaning:
The oak twigs are representing the predominant kind of trees in the commune and the municipality. The wheat ears are symbolizing agriculture. The base wavy is representing the Barragem de Campilhas, a centre of recreation activities.
