Abstract

The general purpose of this paper was to analyze the efficacy of selected case law and regulations regarding piped water service quality in Buenos Aires. We searched first for jurisprudence, regulations and case law relating to the quality of water service in Buenos Aires. We used the documentary observation method, and the qualitative data were categorized as secondary (jurisprudence, regulations and case law). We analyzed three leading cases, which might be useful to set general guidelines for future law projects and public policies in order to have a more sustainable service.
