Puerto Rico Water Authority Calls for Public Help to Extend Water Supplies

The Puerto Rico Water and Sewer Authority (AAA) is requesting public assistance to conserve water supplies and extend reservoir levels until expected rainfall arrives. The agency reports that implemented conservation measures have preserved water levels better than during the 2015 and 2020 droughts, but additional citizen cooperation is needed to sustain supplies through the coming weeks. Water conservation is critical for public health, as inadequate water supply can impact sanitation, hygiene practices, and disease prevention across communities. Residents are encouraged to reduce water consumption and support AAA's efforts to manage this essential resource during the ongoing water shortage.
