Overview

  • A main potable water line ruptured on the sixth block of Avenida Santa Cruz at the crossing with Transversal Andrés Garrido in El Obrero, flooding part of the roadway.
  • EPS Grau said its technicians inspected the site and determined the break occurred during construction by the MPM consortium.
  • The responsible contractor deployed specialized staff to carry out corrective repairs to stop the loss of drinking water.
  • Neighbors reported that thousands of liters were lost over several days and that other sectors faced scarcity.
  • Separately, EPS Grau’s Piura zone unit reported fixing additional leaks in Piura, Castilla and Veintiséis de Octubre and cleaning sewer connections in sectors such as Urb. 15 de Septiembre and A.H. Ricardo Jáuregui.
