Planned Water and Power Maintenance Cuts Services Across Lima, Callao and Arequipa

The scheduled works will cause multi‑hour outages that could disrupt households, businesses and traffic control.

Overview

  • The coordinated maintenance program is active this week and Sedapal has published timetables through June 26 that list staged, multi‑hour water interruptions in about 10 districts of Lima and Callao.
  • Sedapar suspended potable supply in eight Arequipa districts for more than 17 hours on June 23 to clean and disinfect the Miguel de la Cuba Ibarra treatment plant and nearby reservoirs, with pressure recovering gradually overnight.
  • Electricity firms including Pluz Energía and Luz del Sur carried out programmed power outages on June 23–24 that overlap some water cuts and will leave several traffic signals without power, prompting municipal advisories for drivers.
  • Utilities are using mitigation measures such as tanker‑truck deliveries, public timetables, social‑media updates and the Sedapal Aquafono contact line to guide residents and coordinate restorations.
  • The simultaneous timing of water and power works raises short‑term disruption risks because restored supply often takes hours to normalize, so residents are urged to store water in advance and follow official channels for updates.
