• The Tunisian water utility SONEDE has announced a temporary suspension of drinking water supply in the Greater Tunis governorates starting at 15:00 (local time) on July 21, with restoration expected by midnight upon completion of repairs.
• The outage was caused by a sudden failure in the main electrical transformer at the Ghadir al-Qalla raw water pumping station.
• The Greater Tunis area includes parts of Tunis, Ariana, Ben Arous, and Manouba governorates, which together form the capital and its surrounding suburbs.

Those operating or residing in the Greater Tunis area on July 21 are advised to allot for disruptions to drinking water supplies over the coming hours and ensure adequate supplies of bottled water.
