SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Tens of thousands of people in Puerto Rico will face water rationing due to increasingly dry conditions in a U.S. territory still struggling to recover from Hurricane Maria.
Gov. Ricardo Rossello said Monday that seven municipalities in the island’s northwest region could be without water for up to 24 hours at a time starting next week.
Federal officials say 76 percent of Puerto Rico is experiencing abnormally dry conditions and another 8 percent is in a moderate drought. They say some 220,000 people are experiencing a drought.
Those affected by the water restrictions depend on the Guajataca reservoir, which was damaged by the Category 4 hurricane that hit in September 2017. Officials say improvements to the reservoir will be completed by May and include increased capacity for water storage.
Water or Wall?
Tough choice.
Not…
This is the sort of thing that could never happen here in America.
Wait…
This is just an out-of-town preview for coming attractions.

Between this, the wildfires in California, doing nothing about mass killings from gun violence and ripping children from their mothers’ arms at the border while sticking them in cages or putting immigrants in some kind of deep freeze lockup…makes me the most angry about this fucker. tRump is cruel, vindictive and completely negligent as CoC.
