The Associated General Contractors of America, Puerto Rico Chapter (AGC-PR) on Monday blasted Senate President Eduardo Bhatia for withdrawing the Puerto Rico Aqueduct Authority Revitalization Act, saying holding off on its approval “is an attack on the island’s welfare and the future of the construction industry.”
Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority Executive Director Alberto Lázaro said Sunday the chances of an increase in water rates could be pushed back with the approval of House Bill 2786, which seeks to address the public corporation’s funding needs for capital improvements.
The Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority has identified and will be selling three properties in San Juan, Guaynabo and San Juan worth a combined $2.8 million to inject cash into its coffers, agency Executive Director Alberto Lázaro said Tuesday.
