Students at the San Julián Preschool No. 611 in Juliaca have experienced a critical shortage of potable water for approximately three weeks. The shortage affects 82 children, hindering food preparation, restroom maintenance, and basic hygiene.

School director Victoria Marisol Canaza Quispe stated that while parents have attempted to assist by bringing small amounts of water, the school’s storage tanks are empty. She criticized the response from Seda Juliaca, noting that water truck deliveries have been insufficient because water is often left in tanks located far from the classrooms. The water crisis has also impacted residents of the San Julián urban area, who have submitted a formal memorial to Seda Juliaca requesting improved service via water tankers.
