Luis R. González Delgado, president of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, announced that repairs to the No. 1 pumping unit at the La Plata dam were successfully completed that afternoon, according to WIPR.[^1]

The authority stated it does not have an estimated date to complete repairs on the broken pump because it depends on an electrical component not currently available in Puerto Rico, per Metro Puerto Rico.[^2] Telemundo Puerto Rico reports that the AAA in Puerto Rico does not have an estimated completion date for repairs to the pump serving the La Plata reservoir.[^3]
