Lima Water Cuts Continue Into Monday as Mendoza Nears Normal After Planned Megacorte

Officials say the cuts enable critical maintenance to improve water distribution.

Overview

  • Sedapal continued scheduled shutoffs Sunday across several Lima districts as part of a maintenance plan that includes reservoir cleaning and network work, with tanker trucks sent to the hardest‑hit areas.
  • The utility also set additional interruptions for Monday in San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate, San Martín de Porres and Lurigancho, with some windows lasting up to 16 hours and a call for residents to store water in advance.
  • In Argentina, AYSAM reported broad recovery after a planned megacorte in Gran Mendoza, with most treatment plants normalized and the Alto Godoy facility still below full capacity as crews purge air and recharge pipes.
  • Separately, Pluz Energía Perú published maps and times for planned power cuts in Lima and Callao, warning some neighborhoods could face up to 10 hours without electricity during maintenance on poles, lines and equipment.
  • These staged outages are designed to upgrade macrodistribution, install valves and flow meters, and rebuild pressure, which can delay full service in high or pumped zones and pushes households to ration stored water during the work.
