Ciudadanos del Karso questioned President Carlos Méndez of the Chamber of Representatives for proposing legislation against water resources while pressuring the Drought Committee and the Water and Sewerage Authority to ensure water supply in eastern Puerto Rico. [1] The group, which monitors environmental issues on the island, raised the contradiction of attacking water policy at the same time Méndez was asking officials to guarantee water flow during a dry spell. [1] The read here is that the timing of the proposal creates a conflict between restricting water use and demanding that the government keep the taps running for residents in the east. [1]
