In late July 2026 a fire at the P11 pump station in Ankara damaged a transformer, cutting water service to several districts for three days before ASKİ restored flow. The same period saw a 12‑hour planned water shutdown in Istanbul on 28 July for maintenance on the main distribution line.

A week later, on 5‑6 August 2026, Istanbul’s water authority announced a longer, 20‑hour outage affecting seven districts. The work involved revision and valve replacement at the Osmangazi Upgrade Center to improve network reliability and prevent future failures.

Together, the snapshots show Turkish water utilities responding to both emergency incidents and scheduled maintenance, resulting in repeated short‑term service interruptions across major cities.
