The mayor of La Plata, Julio Garrodemanded to the provincial organisms that all users of the city who were affected by the interruption in the supply registered during the last days are exempted from the payment of electricity and drinking water.

In La Plata, complaints will be received at the Water Authority”the authorities indicated.
