Costa Rica halted water delivery to over 8,000 residents for treatment‑plant cleaning, while Chile scheduled multiple water shutoffs in Santiago neighborhoods for valve work. Argentina, Guatemala and Colombia also announced water and electricity maintenance, affecting thousands of households. Additional outages were reported in Puerto Rico and other Chilean districts.
