Lima Faces Targeted Water and Power Outages This Weekend

Planned reservoir cleaning and electrical maintenance are intended to improve future supply and reliability.

Overview

  • Sedapal imposed programmed water suspensions on Friday that affect Comas, San Juan de Lurigancho, Lurigancho and San Borja with neighborhood-level start and end times published for each zone.
  • Pluz Energía published confirmed schedules for planned electrical interruptions on Saturday that will hit parts of Lima and Callao including Lima Cercado, San Martín de Porres/Los Olivos, Puente Piedra and Pueblo Libre.
  • Officials say the water work focuses on reservoir cleaning and network repairs while the power outages will allow maintenance on distribution lines, with both agencies framing the work as steps to improve long‑term service quality.
  • Sedapal deployed water tanker trucks and urged residents to store water in advance, and Pluz Energía and RPP advised customers to check official channels for the latest timing and service-restoration updates.
  • Short, concentrated outages like these are a routine way for utilities to maintain infrastructure, but they can disrupt households and small businesses and may cause cascading effects across adjacent districts so residents should plan accordingly.
