Overview
- Sedapal published a sector-by-sector schedule that put planned potable water interruptions into effect on Monday 31 August for parts of Santiago de Surco, San Juan de Lurigancho, Pueblo Libre and Comas.
- Reported outage windows vary by neighborhood with many media accounts citing up to 12 hours and one schedule noting a single 16-hour maximum; example times include Surco about 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., San Juan de Lurigancho generally 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with some sectors to 11:00 p.m., and Comas 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
- Sedapal says the stoppages form part of a multi-day maintenance plan carried out Aug. 29–31 that covers reservoir cleaning, pipeline repairs and other preventive works to improve storage and distribution.
- To reduce hardship Sedapal has deployed tanker trucks to priority zones and directs users to its Aquafono at (01) 317-8000 and official channels for real-time updates and incident reports.
- Residents in listed urbanizations should store water for basic needs and check Sedapal’s published cronograma before assuming whole districts are affected because the cuts apply only to specific sectors and the schedule may change.
