Puerto Rico’s Aqueduct and Sewer Authority will begin planned service interruptions for customers supplied by the Sergio Cuevas filtration plant on 7 August [E1]. The authority divided the affected service area into Zone 1 and Zone 2 [E2]. Each zone will move through alternating 48-hour periods with and without water service [E1][E5].
One zone receives service while the other passes through its scheduled interruption, and the positions reverse after the 48-hour turn [E2][E5]. AAA’s published calendar assigns the zones to the successive days of the rotation [E2]. The result is a repeating operating schedule, rather than an isolated shutdown with a single restoration time [E1][E2].
The mechanism begins at the Carraízo-linked supply and runs through the Sergio Cuevas filtration plant to its neighbourhood service area [E1][E2]. AAA is managing that chain by dividing the plant’s customers into timed groups [E1][E2]. The calendar therefore governs when each listed sector is scheduled to receive water from the shared system [E2][E5].
More than 180,000 customers are covered by the alternating interruptions [E3]. The footprint reaches sectors in seven municipalities [E3][E4]. That wording matters: the plan covers specified service sectors within those municipalities, not necessarily every customer or neighbourhood inside each municipal boundary [E3][E4].
The rotation starts on Friday, 7 August [E1][E4]. AAA’s announcement and calendar establish the opening date and the recurring 48-hour cadence [E1][E2]. They do not publish a fixed date on which the alternating regime will end [E1][E2].
AAA has turned reduced water availability into a timed allocation system across the Sergio Cuevas network [E1][E2]. The two-zone design spreads service across successive 48-hour blocks, with every handoff changing which sectors face interruption [E2][E5]. Customers’ place in the cycle depends on their assigned zone and the official calendar [E2][E5].
The seven municipalities do not enter the plan as indivisible units; their listed sectors do [E3][E4]. The filtration plant’s service area has been separated into two groups governed by the same repeating timetable [E1][E2]. For more than 180,000 customers, the tap now follows a 48-hour calendar with no published final turn [E1][E2][E3].
