Comments/Observations/Problems: 1) Puerto Rico has systems operated by the quasi-public agency PRASA as well as private, or "non-
PRASA" systems. Unfortunately, PREQB often equates the term "PWS systems" with PRASA systems" and "CWS systems" with "non-
PRASA systems, causing great confusion. The 1995-7 Biennial Report did not contain data on the number of systems achieving the five steps.
