Decreto sobre acueductos públicos

Abstract

The image contains news about the public agreements by which it is established that expenses will only be made for the conservation of existing aqueducts, prioritizing the supply of clean water to public fountains and private homes. New construction of fountains or aqueducts is prohibited without the approval of the Cabildo. In addition, it is established that the owners of houses that lack water for more than 30 days may request a reduction in the payment of the service, as long as they present a certification from the mayor that proves the lack of supply. The decree also regulates payments to water service employees and establishes a reserve fund to cover possible contingencies. News published in El Constitucional. No. 261. April 29, 1849, page. 2-3.
