In San Miguel de Tucumán, local authorities are addressing various municipal and infrastructure concerns. The City Council voted to summon municipal officials to review the safety and administrative conditions of collective-housing buildings, following an explosion at Monteagudo 120. This effort aims to evaluate regulatory procedures for inspections and habitability approvals.

Separately, councilors have requested the intervention of the state-owned water company, Sociedad Aguas del Tucumán (SAT). This demand follows allegations of “extortive” billing practices and calls for transparency in fund management. Additionally, officials are seeking urgent infrastructure repairs after a child fell into an uncovered storm drain in Villa Luján. While SAT management attributed missing covers to theft, residents have cited structural neglect.
