Chile's Public Works Ministry (MOP) signed on Sunday the adjudication of a new rural sanitary service in San Ignacio, Ñuble, benefiting 281 families with continuous drinking water. The project is part of seven ongoing works reaching 444 rural households in the region. Seremi Luis Carrasco described the progress as a concrete change in people's lives.
The Chilean government submitted a bill to Congress to raise up to USD 1.35 billion for rebuilding homes and infrastructure damaged by 2026 wildfires in Ñuble and Biobío. The plan mixes direct fiscal spending, tax incentives, and private investment attraction, without permanent tax hikes. Mayors from affected areas call for swift approval, while facing criticism from Valparaíso.

Energy Minister Ximena Rincón stated that the supply of gas from Argentina to the Ñuble and Biobío regions will be restored during Saturday after a suspension due to failure to meet Chilean standards. The cut occurred on Thursday and did not affect residential supply. The industrial sector had backups to continue operating.
