Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority
This article discusses the history of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. The article begins by providing a brief overview of how the Puerto Rico Sewer Service was created by law as a dependency of the Puerto Rico Department of Public Works, to manage all sanitary sewerage systems. Both services were grouped in 1945 into the Puerto Rico Water and Sewer Service. In 1949, Law 163 created the present Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. Organization of the authority is discussed, along with interagency relations, economic assistance, water rates, and financing of urban water works, sewers, rural systems and utility plants. In Puerto Rico, the public corporation has turned out to be a very effective instrument to that end. The government itself, upon creating the authority, bestowed upon it the autonomy and flexibility necessary to enable it to improve service vastly in just a few short years.
