Ej Collaborative Problem-Solving Grants for Safe and Clean Drinking Water in Rural Puerto Rican Communities: On the island of Puerto Rico, there are many communities that are often referred to as "non-PRASA communities" because they do not receive drinking water from the islands primary supplier, the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority ("PRASA"). Instead, these communities are serviced by small drinking water systems to supply them with potable water. There are approximately 240 small drinking water systems in rural Puerto Rican communities, serving an estimated population of 300,000. However, such small drinking water systems find it difficult to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act ("SDWA") and the Clean Water Act ("CWA") because of the lack of adequate financial and technical resources, thus, posing risk to human health and the environment. In addition, such environmental and/or public health concerns are further aggravated by human activities including, but not limited to, improper disposal of household chemicals, litter, and debris and the release of bacteria from livestock and human waste to water sources that supply a significant segment of the population in Puerto Rico with drinking water.
