PRASA reports full service restoration after Superaqueduct break

By THE STAR STAFF

Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) Executive President Luis Reinaldo González Delgado announced Tuesday that drinking water service has been fully restored to customers affected by the Superaqueduct break last week.

“The system has returned to normal for all customers who use the Superaqueduct,” González Delgado said in a written statement. “However, our technical team continues to monitor the system to ensure regular and stable operation in all sectors.”

The breakdown, caused by a ruptured joint in the main line in Manatí, caused service interruptions in several northern municipalities, including Arecibo, Barceloneta, Manatí, Vega Alta and Dorado, as well as in parts of the San Juan metropolitan area. Crews worked for several days on the repair.

González Delgado noted that the system is constantly monitored to detect any fluctuations or necessary pressure adjustments.

PRASA urged customers who continue to experience service issues to contact the Customer Service Center at 787-620-2482 (AGUA) to report them.
