Sedapal Water Cuts Continue in Lima With Rímac Scheduled Next

Sedapal frames the shutdowns as routine work to keep the water network reliable.

Overview

  • Sedapal’s maintenance plan drove Tuesday, May 12 outages in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lince, San Isidro and La Molina with sector-specific hours published by the utility.
  • Parts of Rímac face a planned shutdown on Wednesday for reservoir cleaning, with Sedapal listing the affected zones and advising neighbors to store clean water in advance.
  • To soften the impact, the utility is sending cistern trucks to key points and urging residents to use stored water only for essential needs during the interruptions.
  • Sedapal’s online schedule shows additional, time-stamped cuts through May 20 that include districts such as El Agustino, La Victoria, Breña, Puente Piedra, Los Olivos and Pueblo Libre.
  • The work targets two fixes that keep systems healthy over time by clearing sediment from reservoirs and connecting new pipes to the grid, which can briefly halt service but helps stabilize supply.
