Overview
- The Sunass–REDES analysis of 2025 shows average potable water use in Lima and Callao at 134 liters per person per day, down from 151 liters in 2016–2019.
- Continuity remains uneven, with an average of 21.6 hours of daily service citywide; 11 districts do not reach 18 hours while only 19 have round-the-clock supply.
- Authorities logged 5,971 service interruptions in 2025 with roughly eight-hour repair times, and some outages lasted up to 18 hours.
- The most frequent and prolonged cuts concentrated in Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores, Ate and San Juan de Lurigancho, where several districts reported more than 100 cuts last year.
- Consumption disparities reflect availability and household capacity: highest in San Isidro (227 L/day), La Molina (208), Miraflores (199) versus Mi Perú (102), Puente Piedra (103), Ventanilla (103), with experts noting irrigation can account for up to 22% of daily use in wealthier areas.
