Short answer: yes, if you are willing to take a risk.

Long answer: You should be able to follow this link to the EPA's website for more detailed explanation. Looks like some contaminants (coliforms - ie, bacteria) are found in the water system with some frequency in most of Puerto Rico's water systems.

Added: Puerto Rico water system is similar to the states. So, if you drink water from your state then their is not going to be any problem with the water from PR.
