U.S. AND PUERTO RICO AQUEDUCT AND SEWER AUTHORITY
REACH ACCORD ON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS


SAN JUAN -- The Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority
(PRASA) has agreed to spend more than $20 million to bring 31 of
its wastewater treatment plants into compliance with permit
limits under an agreement announced today by the U.S. Department
of Justice and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. PRASA will
also pay $375,000 in penalties to settle claims that its
wastewater treatment plants violated the Clean Water Act by
routinely discharging more pollution than their permits allowed
and failing to abide by Court imposed maintenance and operating
standards and a schedule for plant-by-plant improvements.
