Delhi Water Supply Alert: Several parts of Delhi will experience a 48-hour disruption in water supply starting 11:00 am on February 25, 2026, and continuing until 11:00 am on February 27, 2026. The advisory was issued by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), which has urged residents to store sufficient water in advance to avoid inconvenience during the maintenance period.
The temporary shutdown is necessary to carry out interconnection work on newly laid 1500 mm diameter twin raw water pipelines. These pipelines are being linked to the existing main line of the Dwarka Water Treatment Plant. Officials say the project is part of a broader infrastructure upgrade aimed at strengthening water distribution across southwest Delhi and nearby localities.
Areas likely to be affected include Dwarka Sub City, Mahavir Enclave, Vijay Enclave, Uttam Nagar group of colonies, Pochanpur, Bharthal, Amberahi Village, Madhu Vihar, Sagar Pur, Kailash Puri, Durga Park and Mangla Puri. Residents in Raj Nagar Phase I and II, Bagdola Village, Bijwasan, Dhulsiras, Binda Pur, Sewak Park, Bharat Vihar, Sita Puri, Raja Puri, Jiwan Park, Indra Park, Milap Nagar, Chanakya Place, Arjun Park, Laxmi Vihar, Bajrang Enclave, Maksudabad, Naya Bazar, Vijay Park and Sai Baba Enclave are also expected to face supply interruptions.
The disruption will further impact Nangli Sakrawati Village and its extension, Ranaji Enclave, Shyam Vihar group of colonies, Dharampura group of colonies, Roshanpura group of colonies, Deenpur Village, Matiala, Palam, Vishwas Park, Sadh Nagar Part I and II, Nanhey Park, Bamnoli Village, Shahbad Mohammadpur Village, Kapashera Village, IGI Airport and ICCC (Yashobhumi), as well as Najafgarh Town and adjoining areas.
Officials indicated that tanker services may be arranged in some locations depending on demand and availability. However, residents are advised not to rely solely on emergency supply and instead make adequate storage arrangements before the shutdown begins. Authorities have also appealed to citizens to use water judiciously during the disruption period and avoid non-essential consumption.
The maintenance work comes amid the Delhi government’s continued focus on improving civic infrastructure and service delivery. Recently, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta marked one year in office and highlighted the administration’s emphasis on streamlining governance and strengthening public utilities.
