Every May 15, the National Sanitation Workers Day is celebrated in commemoration of the laying of the foundation stone of the Recoleta Purification and Drinking Water Treatment Plant in 1874 in Buenos Aires.
As a result of a deadly yellow fever epidemic that took place in 1871 and killed thousands of people, a Commission of Aguas Corrientes was constituted, starting the first sanitation work that separated drinking water from sewage or sewage. The authorities and the population of the city became aware of the urgency of establishing an integral solution to the problem of obtaining and distributing drinking water.
