Show answer and explanation
✓ El ayuntamiento
The water supply and public lighting are local services, and they are provided by the ayuntamiento (town council), directly or through companies. The ayuntamiento also takes care of rubbish collection, street cleaning, urban transport and the cemetery. The comunidades (regions with self-government) and the State deal with wider powers, such as health or defence. Remember: day-to-day services equal ayuntamiento.
