Overview
- A deliberate act of vandalism at the Loteo Pérez Guilhou aqueduct camera has disrupted water supply to several barrios in Ciudad de Mendoza and Luján de Cuyo since late last week.
- Only one of two pumping systems is operational due to low water levels caused by the obstruction, delaying full restoration of service.
- The affected barrios include Barrio Andino, Cipolleti, El Triángulo, Nueva Generación, El Progreso, and Urbano Las Sierras.
- Both Aysam and the Municipality of Mendoza are deploying tanker trucks to provide potable water to residents while repairs are underway.
- The Municipality has filed formal complaints against Aysam and the Department General of Irrigation, demanding billing adjustments and reimbursement for emergency relief costs.
