Medellín will resume water cuts starting today: 109,000 homes will be affected for eight hours in several areas

Starting Tuesday, September 8, Medellín will implement scheduled overnight water service interruptions affecting 109,000 households. The affected areas are primarily located in the city's northeastern and central-eastern sectors. These measures follow a period of voluntary conservation efforts that failed to meet established targets amid a reduction in rainfall.

The decision to resume water rationing is a direct response to the impact of climate conditions on local water resources. Authorities have determined that these eight-hour service suspensions are necessary to maintain system stability as the city manages the ongoing water scarcity challenge.
