Jenniffer González Colón announces credits for the Superacueducto break

On the night of June 11, 2026, Governor Jenniffer González Colón reports that there is an active response to a break in a 72-inch Superacueducto pipe in Bayamón. AAA's president, engineer Luis Gonzalez in the release, identified the rupture with the Municipality of Bayamón and started excavation. About 112,000 customers will see temporary interruptions in Bayamón, Guaynabo, Gurabo, Carolina (Isla Verde), Loíza (Piñones, La Torre, and Terraplén), San Juan (high zones), Caguas, Juncos, and Aguas Buenas.

The governor says bill credits were agreed for affected customers, in particular those who have had multiple interruptions in prior weeks. She does not publish the credit amount or the formula. What remains is the agreement, not the table. She keeps the emergency executive order in force: the National Guard continues distributing water, with Turismo, Agricultura, and the Autoridad Metropolitana de Autobuses. She instructs the secretary of the Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor to freeze that same night prices of bottled water, ice, and cisterns.

On June 6 and 7, La Fortaleza had activated OE-2026-028 and the tanker trucks. On the 14th, Metro Puerto Rico will quote Luis Reinaldo González Delgado: the third break is more serious, the pipe split in half. On the 14th, La Fortaleza itself orders a comprehensive evaluation on Carlos Pesquera's recommendation. Three dates of the same pipe. This is the 11th: credits, 112,000, and DACO.

Jenniffer González Colón speaks of investing in infrastructure that for decades was not maintained. That phrase is hers, in the release. It is not converted into a project inventory or into the 7 billion she will cite on the 14th. The reader who wants the credit amount will have to wait for another outlet: it is not here.

What remains is the credits agreement, the 112,000, and the DACO freeze. This is not original reporting.
