The outages will affect various neighborhoods in the localities of Candelaria, Chapinero, Ciudad Bolivar, Kennedy, Rafael Uribe Uribe, San Cristobel, Soacha, Suba, Usaquen, and Usme for up 24 hours at a time.

Advice

Consult the Bogota Aqueduct website for details regarding specific water outage locations and times. Stock up on drinking water in advance. Confirm alternative water supplies for business operations. Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
