Alto Selva Alegre Neighborhoods Enter Second Week Without Water After Main Pipeline Rupture

Residents demand night-time cistern deliveries in the face of emergency staffing limits at Sedapar.

Overview

  • A rupture of a main pipeline has left the Javier Heraud and Bella Esperanza associations without potable water for more than a week.
  • District cistern deliveries have been irregular despite repeated requests, leaving some households without supply for days.
  • Sedapar has acknowledged a shortage of personnel for emergency response, limiting the capacity to address the outage.
  • Families report collecting and filtering rainwater for cooking because sustained purchases of bottled water are unaffordable.
  • Authorities have not provided a date for full restoration, and residents are calling for more frequent and night-time distribution to reach working households.
