The Municipality of Guatemala City created the Municipal Water Company (Empresa Municipal de Agua) (EMPAGUA) in 1972 to manage Guatemala City’s sewage and water services. Today it is the largest municipal water provider in the country. [13] XELAGUA manages the water supplies in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala’s second largest city. [8]
In Guatemala City, untreated storm water is injected into the upper aquifer to try to recharge the city's water supply. Leaching from the landfill in Guatemala City has also severely contaminated the local aquifers, and generally only deep confined aquifers should be considered safe from biological and chemical contamination.

The highest water use can be found in some utilities in Brazil and Argentina, where water resources are abundant and water use is almost 500 liter/capita/day. [10] The lowest water use is in Aguas de Illimani serving La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, with less than 50 liter/capita/day. In rural areas water use is sometimes even lower than this level.
Hard choices are becoming imperative. The federal government is effectively ordering that the basin states cut their water usage by 2 million to 4 million acre-feet a year.
