Planned Weekend Water Cuts Hit Districts in Lima and Santa Fe

Utilities say the outages are for reservoir cleaning, pipe connections, plant upgrades to modernize supply.

Overview

  • Sedapal carried out scheduled multi‑hour interruptions across Lima over the weekend, with large outages in Lurigancho reported on Saturday.
  • As of Sunday, Aug. 2, Sedapal continued maintenance in multiple districts and deployed tanker trucks to supply the most affected areas.
  • Aguas Santafesinas (Assa) implemented plant works that produced a temporary full‑city suspension in Santa Fe on Aug. 2 and began a gradual re‑pressurization.
  • Some Lima neighborhoods also suffered unscheduled breaks, including ruptured mains in San Juan de Lurigancho that extended outages beyond the planned windows.
  • Officials warn recovery will be progressive and may cause turbidity when service returns, and they urged residents to store water in advance and run taps until water clears.
