Governor Jenniffer González Colón requested authorization to use $9.7 million from the Emergency Reserve to evaluate and rehabilitate five public wells in Puerto Rico. [^2]

Governor González Colón stated that the rehabilitation of the five wells could provide approximately five million gallons of water daily to the system. [^3]

The funds are designated for the evaluation, design, rehabilitation, interconnection, and other necessary works for five specific wells: Dorado Dairy N. 1, Dorado Dairy N. 2, Maguayo N. 2, Campanilla N. 8, and Levittown N. 4. [^4]

The proposal requires the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA), in coordination with the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DRNA) and the Department of Health, to determine that the wells can return to service safely, legally, expeditiously, and at a demonstrably reasonable cost.

The Financial Oversight and Management Board approved a 21-day extension of emergency funding for ongoing drought-response activities through September 10, 2026. [^6]

The five inactive wells-Dorado Dairy Nos. 1 and 2, Maguayo No. 2, Campanilla No. 8, and Levittown No. 4-could collectively supply up to five million gallons of potable water per day if deemed safe and compliant. [^7]
