The Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority will open one large gate at the Carraízo reservoir for a controlled discharge, the agency announced. [^1]

The AAA did not give a date or a volume for the release in the announcement.

The move comes as reservoir levels across the island have moved in different directions. On Oct. 10, 2025, the AAA reported that 9 reservoirs decreased in level, 5 increased, and 5 held steady. [^2]
