The Carraízo and La Plata reservoirs continued their downward trend on Wednesday, with decreases of four and two centimeters, respectively, in the past 24 hours. According to the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA) report, updated at 5:00 AM, Carraízo was at 40.65 meters, in the Safe band, while La Plata was at 43.68 meters, in the Adjustments band.
Eight reservoirs recorded decreases, six increased, and five remained unchanged. The largest reductions were reported in Dos Bocas, Guajataca, and Guayo, with decreases of 16, 12, and 10 centimeters, respectively. Their levels were 89.65, 196.23, and 443.24 meters, all in the Safe band.
Lucchetti recorded the largest increase, with 51 centimeters, reaching 171.80 meters and remaining in the Safe band. Garzas stayed in the Spilling band, at 736.09 meters, while Fajardo stayed in the Watch band, at 48.02 meters.
Corrected October 8: an earlier version said the AAA reported the status of 17 reservoirs; the report El Nuevo Día cited lists 19 (eight down, six up, five unchanged), and the sentence was removed. It also left two of the AAA’s level names untranslated: Garzas’s “desborde” is the Spilling band, and Fajardo’s “observación” is the Watch band.
