The Instituto de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Nacionales (Idaan) announced a planned water shutoff scheduled for Tuesday, June 10th, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The interruption is necessary to facilitate crucial maintenance work on the main water pipeline serving the island. The planned maintenance will impact several areas, including Carenero, the central district of Isla Colón, La Cabaña, Saigón, Barriada La Vega, La Solución, and the entrance to Pablito. Idaan representatives have not yet commented on the potential impact on businesses, but residents are advised to store sufficient water in advance. "We understand this interruption will cause inconvenience," said an Idaan spokesperson in a statement. "We appreciate the public's cooperation and patience as we work to ensure the long-term reliability of the water system." The statement urged residents to conserve water during and after the scheduled shutoff. Following the maintenance, Idaan expects the water supply to be fully restored. Residents are advised to monitor official channels for updates and further information. The full restoration of water service is expected to prevent more significant disruptions in the future.
