The Giza Drinking Water and Sewerage Company announced that several areas in Giza will experience a 6-hour water cutoff on Friday, October 2, 2026. The water will be shut off from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM on Saturday, October 3, 2026. The areas affected include 26th of July Street, Hijaz Street, Shahab Street, Lebanon Street, Israa Al-Muhandisin Street, Al-Fallah Street, Gaza Street, and Al-Ghazal wa Al-Nasij Street, as well as the area from Talaat Harb to the transformers.
The water cutoff is necessary for the implementation of drinking water line conversions that conflict with the construction of the Monorail and Metro projects. Specifically, the conversions involve a 200mm diameter water line in the area of the Wadi Nile Monorail station and another 200mm diameter water line in the area of the Talaat Harb Metro station. These conversions are required to facilitate the construction of the new transportation systems.
The Giza Drinking Water and Sewerage Company has assured citizens that they will provide pure drinking water to the affected areas during the outage. Citizens can request water supply trucks by calling the hotline 125. The company has also urged citizens, bakeries, and hospitals to manage their water needs during the outage period.
The construction work for the Monorail and Metro projects is ongoing in Giza. The Wadi Nile Monorail station and the Talaat Harb Metro station are part of the development plan for the city's transportation network. The implementation of these projects aims to improve the efficiency and capacity of public transportation in Giza.
Residents of the affected areas have been advised to plan accordingly and make necessary arrangements for their water needs during the outage. The Giza Drinking Water and Sewerage Company has apologized for any inconvenience this may cause and is working to minimize the disruption to citizens' daily lives.
The water cutoff is a temporary measure required for the execution of the infrastructure projects. Once the work is completed, the water supply will be restored to normal. The company has assured citizens that they are working diligently to complete the conversions as quickly as possible.
The Giza Drinking Water and Sewerage Company has urged citizens to report any issues or concerns related to the water supply during the outage. The company's customer service team is available to assist with any queries or complaints.
