On August 25, 2026, the Puerto Rico water authority (AAA) successfully completed repairs on one of the four pumping units at the La Plata dam [^1].

The authority said it received the necessary component to fix the pump, whose breakdown had reduced the system's pumping capacity, and that technical staff began assembly and testing work after the part arrived [^2].

Earlier reports from the Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AAA) indicated that 20,952 subscribers in San Juan, Guaynabo, Bayamón, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, and Dorado may have experienced low pressure or interruptions due to the failure [^3].

The Authority of Aqueducts and Sewers (AAA) also reported that approximately 20,952 subscribers in those same areas may experience low water pressure or service interruptions [^4].
