Senator Marissa Jiménez Santoni expressed that she is not entirely satisfied with the 50% discount on water bills offered by the Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AAA) through credits. Her district, Carolina, was affected by water outages caused by the 'valvuleo' issue in June, leaving constituents without water. Jiménez stated that while she appreciates the discussion and possibility of credits, she will not be satisfied until she sees the impact of the credits and her constituents are satisfied.

She also mentioned that the municipality had to spend money to provide services, which could have been used for other purposes. Regarding the AAA’s executive director, Luis González Delgado, Jiménez said he should have resigned a long time ago. The senator emphasized that she will be the voice of her constituents and ensure their concerns are addressed.
