Users in nine localities of Bogotá should prepare for scheduled interruptions in the water service between Tuesday, July 14 and Thursday, July 16.
The suspensions, which in most cases will last for 24 hours, are due to interventions in the aqueduct network to be carried out by the Bogotá Aqueduct and Sewerage Company (EAAB).
The schedule will begin on Tuesday, July 14 with cuts in sectors of Fontibón and Kennedy. In Ciudad Salitre Occidental, the suspension will start at 8:00 a.m. due to network connection works, while in the neighborhoods of Tintal and Tintalá the service will be interrupted from 10:00 a.m. due to a third-party shutdown.
For Wednesday, July 15, the intervention schedule will expand to Santa Fe, Antonio Nariño, San Cristóbal, Kennedy, Usaquén, and Suba. In Santa Fe, the cut will affect the neighborhoods of San Bernardo and Santa Inés, including the sector of the Institute of Legal Medicine. In Antonio Nariño, there will also be suspension in Hortúa, Policarpa Salavarrieta, Sevilla, Ciudad Berna, and Caracas.
That same day, the neighborhoods of Atenas, Villa de Los Alpes, and Guacamayas III, in San Cristóbal, will have a 12-hour interruption for preventive maintenance, while in Kennedy two different interventions will be carried out affecting sectors such as Patio Bonito II, Provivienda Occidental, Dindalito Parcial, Carvajal, Alcalá, Tejar, Alquería La Fragua, and Ospina Pérez.
In Usaquén, the work will focus on Los Cedros and Las Margaritas, while in Suba the cut will cover Tibabuyes II and Sabana de Tibabuyes.
The schedule will end on Thursday, July 16 with suspensions in Bosa, Kennedy, Suba, and Usaquén. The neighborhoods of Laureles, Bosques de Kennedy, Ciudad Kennedy Occidental, Ciudad Kennedy Sur, Villa Elisa, Las Flores, El Poa, Costa Azul, La Chucua, Potrerillo, Santa Bárbara Central, Las Acacias, Villa Magdala, Las Orquídeas, Toberín, and Serrezuela will be among the sectors impacted by the interventions.
According to the EAAB, the suspensions are part of maintenance, repair, and modernization work on the aqueduct system infrastructure in order to reduce the risk of major damage to the distribution networks.
The company recommended that users store water only to cover basic needs during the duration of the cuts and reminded that it will provide water trucks to prioritize hospitals, clinics, and other places with high public concentration through Line 116.
