San Juan de Miraflores Residents Block Panamericana Sur Over Water Shortages

Sedapal has promised a statement after months of unresolved complaints.

Overview

  • Protesters halted the north–south lane at roughly km 15 to 15.5 of the Panamericana Sur, disrupting traffic Friday morning.
  • Residents say potable water runs only from about 5 a.m. until midday, forcing families to ration and store supplies.
  • Community leaders report around a dozen settlements are affected, including Las Flores de Villa, Villa Primavera, San José de Villa and Los Jardines.
  • Demonstrators allege charges increased after new meters were installed, with some two-person households receiving bills near S/150.
  • Sedapal said it would issue a pronouncement in the coming hours, as residents cite months of unanswered paperwork and are advised to use SUNASS or Sedapal’s virtual complaint channels.
