ALGIERS – The Algiers Water and Sanitation Company (SEAAL) announced on Monday that several municipalities across Algiers are experiencing water cuts and significant disruptions to their usual drinking-water distribution schedules.
The affected municipalities are Bachdjerrah, Hussein Dey, El Magharia, Belouizdad, Sidi M’Hamed, Algiers-Centre, El Mouradia, El Madania, Bir Mourad Raïs, Hydra and El Biar.
According to SEAAL, the disruption was caused by a technical malfunction that resulted in the partial shutdown of the Hamma seawater desalination plant.
The company said the return to the normal water distribution schedule will depend on the complete restart of the plant’s facilities, the restoration of production to 100% of its capacity and the prior replenishment of the major water reservoirs securing the capital’s supply.
SEAAL said the situation will continue to be monitored until normal distribution conditions are restored.
