AAA executive director Luis González Delgado said Monday there is no immediate plan for water rationing for customers supplied by the La Plata reservoir, though he stressed the lake remains under strict observation and future decisions depend on weather in coming weeks. Speaking after the weekly Drought Committee meeting at La Fortaleza, González Delgado said operational pressure adjustments have been implemented to extend the reservoir’s useful life, keeping the daily drop below 10 centimeters.
Toa Alta Mayor Clemente "Chito" Agosto had called for a "preventive rationing plan" and dry dredging of exposed shoreline material, which González Delgado said is on the agenda. La Plata stood at 46.29 meters Monday morning, 5.79 meters from entering the operational-adjustments phase; the reservoir serves 130,828 customers in Bayamón, Dorado, Guaynabo, Naranjito, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, Vega Alta, Cataño and Corozal.
Mayors of these municipalities were reportedly meeting with the AAA chief Monday afternoon.
