Cali Schedules Water and Power Service Interruptions for July 14 Maintenance

Residents in several neighborhoods of Cali, Colombia, will experience temporary disruptions to water and power services on Tuesday, July 14, as Empresas Municipales de Cali (Emcali) conducts essential maintenance and modernization work.

The city's municipal utility company is undertaking these operations across various communes to optimize infrastructure and enhance the efficiency of public services. These efforts aim to ensure the continued and improved delivery of water and electricity to users.

In the La Hacienda neighborhood, specifically within the area bordered by Calle 13 to Calle 25 and Carrera 66 to Carrera 70, the water supply will be suspended from 8:00 a.m. to an estimated 8:00 p.m. This is due to valve replacement work on the potable water distribution network. To mitigate the impact, Emcali will station a water tank truck in the affected zone to provide essential supply during the outage.

Simultaneously, repair work on the water system is scheduled for Ciudadela Comfandi, Alto Menga, Salomia, and José Holguín Garcés. Emcali is also addressing reported damages in Calimío Norte, Juanambú, and Los Cámbulos.

For the electrical infrastructure, maintenance will focus on two key circuits. The Santander circuit will undergo a review of a recloser at Calle 45 with Carrera 3, near the Salomia and El Sena neighborhoods. Additionally, crews will repair a secondary fault in the underground network of the Vipasa neighborhood, located at Calle 47 CN with Avenida 3 CN, affecting the Alto Menga circuit. The company is also carrying out cleaning work on drains and the sewage system at key points to ensure proper drainage.
