The bill should fall if there is rationing or interruptions; there are no shutoffs for nonpayment
On August 31, 2026, El Vocero reports that Luis R. González Delgado, in the same Hoy Día Puerto Rico interview on Telemundo that another note on this desk covers, said the bill should fall if the customer is under rationing or has had interruptions. Meters, according to that page, do not run without water. If there is no service, there is no consumption to bill. During the emergency there will be no shutoffs for nonpayment. That assurance is this interview's, not a regulation this desk recounts.
That interview is the one on Carraízo periods: the AAA will evaluate extending rationing. Here the fact is the bill and nonpayment. There, the periods and the «not inoperable». This note does not rewrite that one. Cidra's elevation is not pasted here, nor Monday's committee as a new count. The «not inoperable» is not redone. A reader who wants periods and zones goes back to that note.
What remains is a bill that should fall, meters that do not mark without water, and an announcement that there is no shutoff for nonpayment while the emergency lasts. It is the same morning and the same voice on Telemundo; another thread, the bill. A reader who wants that part of Telemundo has the El Vocero URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
