Overview
- Aguas Santafesinas said water service in Rosario is coming back in stages after crews cleared a thick mass of camalotes, or floating weeds, that jammed the Paraná River intake.
- The shutdown affected Rosario, Villa Gobernador Gálvez and Funes, and the interruption ran longer than the three hours first announced before pressure began to recover.
- Crews used divers, boats and heavy machines to clear the intake screens, then started Estación B for most users and Estación C for the south, a zone the utility links to ongoing Gran Rosario aqueduct works due in September.
- Separately, ABSA scheduled network work in Bahía Blanca that cuts supply in Aldea Romana, Los Horneros, Patagonia Norte and Las Acacias until tasks finish and service returns in steps.
- In La Plata’s Parque Castelli, residents report more than a year with little to no water, monthly bills near 25,000 pesos, and scale buildup that has damaged heaters and kitchenware.
