Jenniffer González Colón announces for Tuesday a drought executive order centered on Carraízo

On July 30, 2026, NotiCel reports that as soon as Tuesday the government will announce an executive order on the most important points of the drought, according to Governor Jenniffer González Colón. The language will apply to the whole island, but she is thinking initially of Carraízo's level. Monday she will meet with mayors. The previous day she had the drought committee's longest meeting. The situation has worsened, she said, and El Niño has hardened supplies.

Carraízo supplies San Juan, Carolina, Trujillo Alto, and sectors of Juncos, Canóvanas, and Gurabo. It left the watch area and obliges monitoring to make adjustments. It has life, but they want to extend it. The executive order will freeze prices of cisterns and the equipment to handle them, so people can plan for the eventuality of rationing in two weeks if it does not rain. She was emphatic: that plan is still not imminent. She asked people not to wash cars or clean with a hose. With the mayors she will also discuss water supply in the schools that draw from Carraízo. It is not raining and there is not enough forecast to supply Carraízo in the next two weeks. That is the problem, she said.

On the 27th, Luis Reinaldo González Delgado announced less extraction. On the 28th, he evaluated fines. On the 29th, he asked to stretch through mid-August. This July 30 note is the governor: order on Tuesday, a price freeze, rationing not imminent. Four spokespeople of one basin. They are not collapsed.

NotiCel writes Carolnia for Carolina in one stretch. Carolina is named as the municipality. A level in feet is not invented. On July 16 the Canóvanas and Río Grande rationing was from Guzmán Arriba, not Carraízo. Two systems. Here it covers the plan announcement.

Jenniffer González Colón speaks; the mayors are not yet at Monday's table. The reader who wants those remarks has the NotiCel URL at the foot.
