Iran: Water outage planned in parts of Shiraz Feb. 20

Event

The Shiraz Water and Sewerage Company has announced that a planned water outage will occur in parts of Shiraz, Fars Province, 0600-1800 Feb. 20 due to repair works. Affected areas include Imam Hassan, Imam Hussein, and Sa'di districts. Residents may experience lingering disruptions, such as low-pressure supply, through late Feb. 20.

Some business disruptions are possible in the affected areas, especially at companies that rely heavily on municipal water to maintain operations.

Advice

Stock up on drinking water and confirm alternative water supplies for business operations. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes. Pressure and quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Minimize nonessential water use throughout the outage.
