METROPOLITANO

METROPOLITANO (PWSID PR0002591) is a cws water system drawing from a surface water source, regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It serves approximately 1,077,332 people in San Juan, PR, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Puerto Rico drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 278 total violations, with 278 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 7 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Turbidity, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic Acids (HAA5). Recorded violations span 2013–2025.

A historical violation does not necessarily describe current water quality, systems must notify customers and remediate, and monitoring-type violations often reflect reporting lapses rather than contamination. The most authoritative real-time source is the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
