Residents in various parts of Delhi will experience water supply issues on April 6 and 7, 2026. The Delhi Jal Board has officially announced that several localities will be impacted due to necessary work. To avoid inconvenience, the board has requested citizens to store a sufficient amount of water beforehand. This update comes as a precautionary measure to ensure families do not face sudden shortages during the maintenance period.

What should residents expect during these two days?

The disruption is expected to affect a wide range of neighborhoods across the national capital. While the supply will be limited, the impact will be felt throughout both Saturday and Sunday. People are advised to use water judiciously and store enough for their daily needs before the scheduled supply cut begins. Taking these proactive steps will help households manage their daily routines without facing dry taps.

How to manage the water shortage and get help?

The Delhi Jal Board has made arrangements to support residents who face an acute shortage of water during this period. The following steps can be taken by the public:

  • Residents can request water tankers from the nearest Delhi Jal Board office if needed.
  • Zonal offices will keep their emergency contact numbers active for any supply related complaints.
  • It is recommended to fill all domestic storage tanks and buckets by the evening of April 5.
  • Stored water should be prioritized for drinking and essential cooking purposes during the crisis.

The board assures that regular water supply will resume as soon as the scheduled work is completed on April 7. The authorities are working to ensure that the impact remains as minimal as possible for the common man.
