Planned Water and Power Cuts Disrupt Many Lima Districts

Officials say the outages will allow crews to clean reservoirs, repair pipelines, upgrade networks to strengthen long‑term service.

Overview

  • Sedapal is continuing district-by-district water shutdowns on Friday, Sept. 4, publishing updated timetables and sending tanker trucks to priority points to reduce impact.
  • Pluz Energía has scheduled planned electricity interruptions through Sept. 5, with some sectors such as San Juan de Lurigancho facing outages lasting up to 11 hours.
  • Both utilities publish exact start and end times for affected neighborhoods so households and businesses can check whether and when their area will be affected.
  • Sedapal says the work involves reservoir cleaning, empalme (pipe splicing), repair of main pipeline breaks and maintenance of pressure-reducing chambers.
  • Because some areas face overlapping water and power work, authorities and media urge residents to store water, confirm schedules on official channels and prepare contingency measures.
