Day 14 of the metro rotation. This morning’s 5:00 chart from the Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados shows Carraízo at 37.52 meters — down 5 centimeters from yesterday, and La Plata at 45.49 meters — down 6 centimeters from yesterday.

This is the 11th entry in our daily chart check (yesterday’s is here), built the same way every morning — from AAA’s own numbers, read off its charts for our reservoir board.

Carraízo: down 5 cm

Carraízo kept sliding. This morning’s chart puts it at 37.52 meters — down 5 centimeters from yesterday, in the ajustes band.
