Acueducto de Ponce, Historic aqueduct in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Acueducto Alfonso XII extends 2.5 miles through Ponce with multiple arches supported by stone columns and a brick semicircular channel.
Designed by Timoteo Luberza and completed in 1876, this water supply system operated for 48 years until its closure in 1928.
The aqueduct represents a milestone in Puerto Rican civil engineering, demonstrating the evolution of water infrastructure in the late 19th century.
The reservoir could hold 2,000 cubic meters of water and supplied approximately 35,000 residents through a gravity-based distribution system.
The watershed area covered 30 square kilometers around Río Portugués, with the water channel rising 50 feet at its highest point.
