District 17 Representative Wilson Román López announced a $354.6 million investment to develop 15 water infrastructure projects in Aguadilla and Moca, aimed at improving potable water service in both municipalities. According to the legislator, the funds come from the Capital Improvements Program, federal funds and CDBG-DR funds. Of the 15 projects, six are under construction, five are in the bidding process and four are in an advanced design stage.
Román López said the work includes maintenance, renewal of main pipelines and structural improvements to the potable water system. As part of follow-up on the projects, he said he will soon carry out an inspection visit together with Jorge Jiménez, executive director of the West Region of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA), in the Los Pérez sector of the Voladoras ward in Moca.
