AAA announces an improvement plan at Carraízo and the Sergio Cuevas plant
On July 6, 2026, NotiCel reports that the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority will carry out on Tuesday, July 7, a broad maintenance and improvement plan at the Carraízo dam, the Sergio Cuevas Filter Plant, and the Metropolitan Region network, taking advantage of a scheduled dam outage for LUMA Energy electrical work. AAA executive president Luis R. González Delgado said the coordination will make it possible to advance multiple projects during a single interruption.
LUMA Energy's vice president of Transmission, Aviation, and Substations, Hendzon Martínez, reported that approximately 1,000 customers will experience a scheduled electric interruption between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. while crews improve transmission line 3100 that serves Carraízo. AAA's work, according to NotiCel, would begin at 6:00 a.m. Tuesday and extend about 12 hours, if no setbacks arise. During that period it would be necessary to temporarily interrupt potable-water service for more than 180,000 customers in San Juan, Trujillo Alto, Carolina, and Loíza. At Carraízo, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic equipment would be replaced and maintained: valve replacement, intake cleaning, electrical maintenance, and pump verification. As a preventive measure, AAA would have an emergency generator available.
On July 7, Ey Boricua covered the same cutoff already underway: more than 180,000 customers in San Juan, Trujillo Alto, Carolina, and Loíza without water because of coordinated work. That is the day itself. This note is the July 6 announcement. They are not collapsed. On July 6, the same NotiCel also covered the 48-hour rationing in Río Grande and Canóvanas and LUMA's alert about outages for lack of generation. Three notices, three URLs. It is also not the $13,174 million General Fund that El Nuevo Día published that same July 6 in another desk kernel.
The reader who wants the AAA and LUMA calendar has the NotiCel URL at the foot.
