SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico will implement water rationing measures in San Juan and other major cities as a drought grips the US territory with no relief in sight.

More than 180,000 customers will be without water for 48 hours at a time starting Friday as part of an alternating schedule while Puerto Rico scrambles to find a solution to the deepening crisis as extreme heat warnings persist.

“This situation is out of our hands,” Governor Jenniffer González said late Tuesday as she blamed weather conditions.
