Puerto Rico's water systems would get a full check-up from the Army Corps of Engineers.
This bill would require the Army Corps of Engineers to study Puerto Rico's water and wastewater systems. This assessment would look at current problems and future needs to protect against natural disasters like droughts and system failures. The goal is to help Congress make informed decisions about improving the island's water infrastructure.
Currently, there is no specific federal requirement for the Secretary of the Army to conduct a full assessment of Puerto Rico's water and wastewater infrastructure needs. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of the Army, through the Corps of Engineers, would be required to conduct this comprehensive assessment and then submit a detailed report to Congress.
