Overview
- Sedapal carried out scheduled temporary water suspensions on Wednesday, Sept. 23 in many districts, including Comas, Carabayllo, San Martín de Porres, La Molina, San Juan de Miraflores, Cercado de Lima and San Juan de Lurigancho.
- The utility described the interruptions as preventive maintenance focused on cleaning storage reservoirs, disinfecting systems and making pipe empalmes to optimize distribution and service quality.
- Start and end times varied by sector, with Comas listed from 12:00 to 18:00, Cercado de Lima from 10:00 to 22:00, La Molina sectors extending to about 23:50, and San Juan de Lurigancho sector 414 facing an extended cut from 08:00 to 23:59.
- To reduce impact, Sedapal deployed water tanker trucks to strategic points and repeatedly urged residents to store water in advance and monitor its official channels for real-time updates.
- The interruptions are part of a short, coordinated maintenance campaign that began on Sept. 22 and is intended to lower the risk of future unplanned outages while causing short-term disruption for households and businesses in the affected sectors.
