The recovery process is advancing by zones and depends on the behavior of the main lines. The institution also asked the population to use water responsibly, especially during the first hours of restoration. The Federico Guardia Conte water treatment plant, in Chilibre, is back in operation after completing scheduled maintenance work. IDAAN reported this at around 10:00 p.m. by confirming that the process of restoring the drinking water supply in the districts of Panama and San Miguelito has begun, after several hours with the service suspended. According to the entity, the work included the installation of a 24-inch valve in Pedregal and another 10-inch valve at the entrance to Cerro Viento, in the Rufina Alfaro district. The works were classified as key to improving the system's operability and allowing for a more stable distribution of water in the affected sectors. IDAAN reiterated that the return of the service is not immediate or even. The recovery is progressive, so some communities may face low pressure or intermittence while the network finishes stabilizing. Meanwhile, technical personnel remains in constant monitoring, making operational adjustments to achieve that the supply normalizes in all points.
