Gran Mendoza Water Service Restoration Underway After Flow Meter Upgrade

Potabilization plants have resumed operations through aqueduct refilling followed by air purges to achieve full service by Monday morning.

Overview

  • AYSAM completed installation of three electromagnetic flow meters on August 2, marking the end of the main upgrade phase on acueducts in La Puntilla and Godoy Cruz.
  • Parallel maintenance by AYSAM and the Department General de Irrigación included treatment unit cleaning, valve and gate repairs, and dam gate installations at Dique Carrodilla.
  • The meter project, costing about USD 300,000, is part of a wider USD 5.1 million modernization plan to automate distribution for more than 1.1 million residents.
  • Most households across Ciudad, Guaymallén and Las Heras have seen pressure return, while isolated neighborhoods may need targeted manual purges to clear residual air.
  • AYSAM has urged residents to conserve remaining water reserves and postpone non-essential uses until network pressure is confirmed in all sectors.
