Water Cut to Affect Six Areas in Western Alexandria for High-Speed Rail Works

Water supplies will be interrupted in six areas of western Alexandria as work proceeds on Egypt’s high-speed electric rail route, the Alexandria Drinking Water Company announced.

The company said the disruption is linked to construction being carried out by the Egyptian Ministry of Transport.

The work requires relocating a 1,500-millimetre water transmission pipeline that supplies the fourth phase of the Borg El Arab pumping station.

The announcement provided did not identify the six affected areas or specify when the interruption would begin, how long it would last or when supplies would resume.
