Argentine water utility infrastructure and management

Overview

Water utility operations in Argentina are characterized by significant infrastructure modernization and management transitions. In the Santa Fe province, Aguas Santafesinas S.A. (ASSA) is investing approximately $1.075 billion pesos to modernize a major water treatment plant in Rosario, involving the replacement of 60-year-old pipes and equipment to serve over one million residents.

This period also involves administrative scrutiny in Santo Tomé, where local officials have requested information regarding the transition of water and sewage services to ASSA. Concerns have been raised regarding a reported debt exceeding 6,000 million pesos owed to the provincial company and the transparency of previous rate collections.

In Buenos Aires, Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos (AySA) has completed the replacement of century-old water valves in the Villa Urquiza neighborhood. The new butterfly valves on the 1,100 mm diameter master pipes are intended to improve operational efficiency and emergency response speeds compared to the original 1917 equipment. The maintenance work resulted in temporary water supply disruptions across 15 neighborhoods.
