The Egyptian company responsible for drinking water and sewage services in Asyut announced that residents of Minqabad village, located in Asyut district, will experience a disruption in their drinking water supply. This interruption is necessary to complete the renovation of the Minqabad sewage lifting station. The work involves replacing certain components in the main valve room and installing a protection tank to prevent water hammering.
The water supply disruption began at 10 PM on Friday, September 25, 2026, and is expected to last for 8 hours, until 6 AM on Saturday, September 26, 2026. During this period, the sewage station will be shut down to allow for the installation of new parts and equipment.

The company urges residents to use water wisely and avoid non-essential consumption during the outage.
In an effort to reduce the effects of the water supply interruption, the company has called on residents to ration their water usage and avoid using water for non-essential purposes. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead and store sufficient water for their needs during the 8-hour period. By doing so, they can help ensure a smooth transition until the water supply is restored.
The company has assured residents that it will maintain open communication channels throughout the process. A hotline (125) has been set up to receive inquiries and reports from residents, allowing the company to respond promptly to any concerns or issues that may arise during the water supply disruption.
