Successfully repaired dam in BayamónIt is expected that the system recovery process will begin in the evening.(Friday, June 19, 2026 – Bayamón, PR) – Executive Chairman of the AAA, engineer Luis R. González Delgado, that the repair work of the failure identified on the 48-inch line in Bayamón, which leads water to the Finca Rosso 2 pumping station, culminated successfully during today’s afternoon, after the welding process of the affected pipeline was completed.As part of the final work, during the afternoon, concrete was placed around the area involved to ensure the structural integrity of the repair. Currently, the technical staff is waiting for the process of forging or drying of the material to be completed, an indispensable requirement before starting the operation of the system.The gradual opening of the system is expected to begin during the night hours, a process that will be carried out in a controlled way to protect the infrastructure and prevent further failures.“Our priority now is that our people can count again on the drinking water service, especially during this Father’s Day weekend.We know how important it is for families to gather in their homes, but also for our shops that depend on a reliable service to operate.According to the executive president, once the system opens up, the first sectors to start experiencing service recovery will be the municipalities of Cataño, Levittown and Guaynabo. Subsequently, the process will continue towards the communities of Caimito, Montehiedra and Cupey in San Juan.The AAA pointed out that service recovery will be gradual and will depend on the stabilization of tank levels and pressure within the system.If no additional inconveniences arise, it is estimated that the full recovery process can take between 24 at the nearest points and 48 hours at the furthest.As the recovery is completed, the public corporation will continue to coordinate mitigation and drinking water distribution measures to serve communities that are still experiencing service disruptions.The AAA will continue to provide updates on the progress of the recovery through its social media and other official channels.###
