A recent report highlighted by “Cuarto Poder” reveals significant vulnerabilities in Lima and Callao’s water and sewage systems. Sedapal’s internal report indicates that 35% of Lima’s water pipes have exceeded their useful life. Additionally, some collectors are as old as 100 years, raising serious concerns about their capacity and structural integrity. The investigation focuses on the potential consequences of a major earthquake, given the system’s deteriorated state. These aging systems present a substantial challenge to the city’s ability to maintain water services following a natural disaster. The report underscores the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades and improvements to ensure a reliable water supply for the metropolitan area. Failure to address these issues could lead to widespread disruptions and public health crises in the event of a significant seismic event.
