Summary

EPA has found that the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) has discharged/bypassed wastewater through a point source into waters of the United States. The point source, which is an appurtenance of the Puerto Nuevo Wastewater Treatment Plant, is identified as the El Monte Sur Condominium Wastewater Collection System. The wastewater bypasses have resulted due to the lack of appropriate operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection system. As a measure of improving the operation of the wastewater collection system, PRASA must made repairs/rehabilitate the system and must conduct a sewer evaluation study, which include an evaluation of the system capacity to handle the incoming wastewater flow.
