ACTIVE RIGHT NOW:
Puerto Rico’s Water Crisis
Communities across the island have gone days, weeks, sometimes months without water — not because of a hurricane, but because of infrastructure that’s been failing for decades. This is a long-term fight, not a headline that fades.
We’re funding emergency relief now and pushing for real solutions for the long haul.
The Real Numbers Behind the Crisis
This isn’t an exaggeration.
This is what’s actually happening, right now, backed by the data.
59%
Of all treated water in Puerto Rico is lost — through leaks, broken meters, and unauthorized use — before it ever reaches a customer.
183,000
People left without water at the peak of a single pipe failure, after a 54-inch pipe serving a major filtration plant ruptured.
37 Days
How long one business in San Juan has operated without running water, surviving entirely on emergency cisterns.
70%
Of residents have, at some point, received water from a source that violated federal health standards.
$1.5 Billion
The estimated cost just to bring Puerto Rico’s water system into basic federal compliance.
$2 Billion
The 5-year repair program now underway — a fraction of which has actually been completed.
13 Days
How long residents in one community went without water before their municipality considered legal action.
27 Hours
Average yearly power interruptions Puerto Ricans already faced — and water service depends entirely on that same broken grid.

Puerto Rico’s water crisis is urgent
but it’s one chapter in a mission that doesn’t stop.
This Isn’t Charity.
It’s an Exchange.
EXC stands for Energy Exchange. We don’t believe your money disappears into a system — we believe it transfers. Your energy, your effort, your $20 or your $200, becomes someone else’s water, shelter, or shot at something better. That’s the whole model. No spin.
