Overview
- A ruptured drinking‑water main in Nueva Esperanza, Villa María del Triunfo, sent a surge through Calle Ayacucho that ripped open the roadway and poured into nearby houses.
- Neighbors reported weakened foundations, broken sidewalks, and a gaping hole in the street, and authorities kept the area restricted due to collapse risk.
- Impact estimates rose from about 20 homes to at least 30 families affected, with residents reporting losses of furniture, appliances, and other household goods.
- Sedapal said it deployed technical crews and hydrojet trucks to control the flooding, repair the line, and carry out cleaning and disinfection inside damaged homes.
- The utility said it will activate its civil liability policy to indemnify affected families, offer temporary lodging where structures are unsafe, and supply water by tanker trucks during repairs.
