AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Water Crisis in Puerto Rico: Puerto Rico’s drought is forcing rotating 48-hour water shutoffs for more than 180,000 customers in San Juan and nearby municipalities, with residents already reporting months of unreliable service and turning to water trucks and storage to cope. Public Health & Access: The crisis is raising concerns about hygiene and basic household needs as the island’s aging water system struggles—losses from leaks and infrastructure problems mean far less water reaches taps than is treated. Local Impact: Officials say the rationing could last through August and possibly longer depending on rainfall and reservoir levels, while tourists are also starting to worry about how shortages could affect hotels, restaurants, and travel plans.
