  • Emcali is conducting maintenance and repair work across Cali on Sept. 1, 2026, covering water, electricity and sewage infrastructure.
  • Water crews are repairing leaks and infrastructure in several neighborhoods, while special projects include work on connections, a pumping station and a large-diameter pipe.
  • Electricity teams are inspecting the Pichindé circuit, and sewage crews are cleaning the Canal Sur and regulation ponds to help prevent water blockages.

Emcali has deployed operational crews across Cali for a day of repairs, maintenance and modernization work covering water, electricity and sewage services.

Water-network teams are responding to leaks and carrying out targeted repairs in El Jardín, La Independencia, El Guabal, Las Américas, Santa Teresita and the industrial sector of Acopi. The utility also listed three larger projects: repairing service connections in Villa Blanca, replacing and testing a motor-pump unit at the Terrón III pumping station, and continuing work on a large-diameter pipe in Las Ceibas.

Electricity crews are inspecting the Pichindé circuit along the road to Cristo Rey, in the San Jorge sector of the Los Andes district, as part of efforts to restore regular service to users in the area.

Sewage teams are removing waste from Canal Sur near Carrera 50 and Avenida Ciudad de Cali. They are also cleaning the regulation ponds at Charco Azul and El Pondaje, with the stated aim of preventing water from backing up.
