The Puerto Rico Aqueducts and Sewers Authority (PRASA) —Spanish: Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AAA)— is a water company and the government-owned corporation of Puerto Rico responsible for water quality, water management, and water supply in Puerto Rico.[1] PRASA is the only entity authorized to conduct such business in Puerto Rico, effectively making it a government monopoly.
Criticism
60% of utility water in Puerto Rico is lost through theft or leaks, in comparison to 12% when compared to the industry average in the United States.[lower-alpha 1] Bills have tripled from $50 a month to $150 since 2007 with a growing 25% delinquency rate.[lower-alpha 2]
