Overview
- A Sedapal trunk pipe ruptured in the early hours of Sunday, May 24, around 4:00 a.m., sending an aniego of water and mud into Colegio Fe y Alegría N.° 25 in Canto Grande and forcing an immediate emergency response.
- Workers and parents broke a school wall to drain pooled water while Sedapal deployed crews, hydrojet equipment and pumps to remove water from classrooms and the surrounding street.
- The flood damaged school infrastructure and learning materials, with reports citing a collapsed partition wall and about 100 computers and other equipment rendered unusable.
- UGEL N.° 05 and the school director suspended in‑person classes and moved to remote instruction while technical inspections, cleaning, disinfection and repair assessments continue.
- Municipal authorities have proposed a sanction near half a million soles against the responsible party and Sedapal says it has activated its insurance to cover material losses as water service is progressively restored.
