On 6 September 2021, residents of San Juan de Lurigancho in Lima queued before dawn for water after a service cut caused by flooding. El Comercio located the scene at a Sedapal supply point on block 31 of Avenida Próceres and reported dozens waiting there on Monday morning after the Saturday outage. One resident said she had queued since midnight and was filling about eight buckets. Another paid 15 soles for a mototaxi to carry full containers home, a cost that would become severe if repeated daily. Sedapal listed more than sixty emergency supply points and said restoration could take up to seven days. Once household taps stopped, even nominally available water required containers, transport and hours of personal time. People might receive the same resource at the truck, but the cost of moving it from the queue to a kitchen differed sharply from household to household.
