Mexico City Battles Three Major Water Main Breaks as Lima Enforces Scheduled Outages Across Multiple Districts

Utilities respond with water trucks, hotlines, maps to manage interruptions.

Overview

  • In Mexico City’s Iztapalapa, crews are repairing three 48-inch pipeline failures at Periférico Oriente, Insurgentes and Ejidos de Santa María Aztahuacán, prolonging reduced service beyond initial timelines.
  • Segiagua and SACMEX are supplying free water by truck via the H2O line (*426) and guiding residents with the “Agua en tu Colonia” interactive map.
  • A citywide tandeo schedule remains in effect from November 3–15 across 10 alcaldías and 284 colonias, with a 95% water-rights discount for affected households.
  • In Lima, Sedapal’s November 5 maintenance cuts affect sectors of Santiago de Surco, Miraflores, Independencia, San Juan de Miraflores and Villa María del Triunfo, with some outages lasting up to 16 hours.
  • Sedapal has announced further suspensions for November 6 in Surco, Lima Cercado, Puente Piedra and San Borja, and is deploying cistern trucks with support via Aquafono at 01-317-8000.
