La Fortaleza ищет замену Луису Гонсалесу в управлении водоснабжения

On September 4, 2026, Metro Puerto Rico reported that legislators from the New Progressive Party (PNP) claimed that La Fortaleza was seeking a replacement for engineer Luis González Delgado as executive president of the Aqueducts and Sewers Authority (AAA). Senator Héctor Joaquín Sánchez, in an interview with Metro at Noon, called to “accelerate the process” and said he was convinced that the president “does not have the competencies to be efficient in the management” of the public corporation. Representative Víctor Parés separately confirmed, on the program Pegao’s in the Morning, that the senator's information was correct according to sources of “high credibility and access.”

The Metro article sets a limit that this editorial respects: the outlet requested a response from Governor Jenniffer González Colón's communications team and, at the time of publication, had not received a reply. Legislative assertion ≠ official announcement of removal or resignation. Alleged search for candidates ≠ accomplished dismissal. Executive's free choice ≠ immunity from scrutiny, but neither does it equate to a termination already notified.

Sánchez added that La Fortaleza would have called several leaders who previously led the AAA and that "they are not available." Parés linked the discomfort to communication between the AAA management and the municipality of San Juan, citing statements from Mayor Miguel Romero about the lack of an effective working team between the municipality and the Triple A. Municipal complaint ≠ audit finding. Alleged lack of coordination ≠ contractual breach adjudicated by a forum.

The same report places the controversy in the hearings under Senate Resolution 543, where Sánchez investigates invoice charges amid service interruptions. According to the senator, the AAA's customer service director indicated that the work to adjust invoices had already been carried out with field operations and that the file was on the desk of the executive president and the interim president of the Board of Directors for approval. The figures cited by the legislator range between “over 30,000 accounts” and “around 37,000 households.” Figure alleged in the hearing ≠ settlement already credited in each invoice. Proposed adjustment ≠ credit disbursed to the subscriber.

For the reader from Borinquen, September 2026 is a month of drought, reservoirs under observation or adjustments, municipal oases, and political pressure on the management of the AAA. This note does not state that González Delgado left on September 4: the primary source does not say so. It does document that two new progressive legislators, on the same day, stated in the media that the search for a replacement was underway and that they were asking for speed. Hallway rumor ≠ appointment in the Gazette. Radio interview ≠ resolution of the Board of Directors.

Institutional context without inventing official replacement names: the AAA is a public corporation with a Governing Board and an executive president freely selected. Metro does not list a designated candidate. Sánchez talks about leaders being called and unavailable; Parés talks about a “lady or gentleman” as a replacement figure. Hallway speculation ≠ appointment. The primary also does not describe a vote by the AAA Governing Board removing the president that day.

Primary: Metro Puerto Rico, September 4, 2026, unique batch URL. Topic: politics. Cousin: null. Although the recent file has water marks (698–748), this piece is not a reservoir report nor an oasis: it is a political note about the office. No cousin is forced.

Closure: Sep 4, 2026; AAA; PNP lawmakers in the face of La Fortaleza's silence on the Metro closure; invoices in alleged adjustment (around 30 thousand to 37 thousand); Metro source. This wording does not add a cessation, a successor, or a credit amount that the primary does not publish.

This note from Borinquen adheres to the cited primary source: it does not invent figures, does not turn an argument into a ruling, does not treat a budgetary obligation as a disbursement nor an accusation as a conviction. Obligated ≠ disbursed ≠ theft. Interdict ≠ final judgment. Audit with findings ≠ criminal conviction. Request for funds ≠ Board authorization. Signed contract ≠ measured hydrological or electrical outcome. Figures of clients without service are snapshots from a portal or a report, not a census of duration. Where the primary source remains silent on a number, this text also remains silent.
