Costa Rica’s water utility, AyA, has temporarily suspended operations at the San Rafael de Coronado water treatment plant. This preventative measure was taken following the detection of potential contamination in the plant’s water sources. Authorities have not yet specified the nature of the contaminant, but are prioritizing public health. Water will now be supplied to affected areas via tanker trucks while the issue is investigated and resolved. The suspension aims to prevent potentially contaminated water from reaching consumers. AyA is working to identify the source of the contamination and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
