>”The transition to this schedule is being implemented to ensure uninterrupted water supply during the day and is due to the increased water consumption in the summer months due to rising temperatures,” the company noted.
>According to the schedule published on the Veolia Jur website, from May 1 to September 16, 2026, drinking water will be supplied to customers in 12 districts of Yerevan and all regions of Armenia from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM (17 hours per day). The addresses of these customers are listed on the website. The rest of the year, water supply will be provided around the clock, the company reported.

I think this is in part driven by the government to spark public interest in water consumption after Pashinyan’s latest announcement. Otherwise no one would be asking any questions nor care about water waste currently in Armenia.
I am surprised we don’t have the same situation with electricity

With global warming affecting Armenia faster Armenia does not have a great situation regarding clean water.

The core issue is failing infrastructure. Before Veolia took over in 2017, it was diagnosed that nearly half of the water was being lost in the pipes during transport. Veolia is an international giant that manages water in many European countries. When they arrived, I expected the water supply to become superior.
However, nationalizing this system would be nearly impossible, and it would be extremely difficult to fire them and find a replacement. I believe the government must push for immediate pipe modernization. This could be done by fining the company more heavily, launching collective lawsuits, or taking a more collaborative approach such as extending their contract only on the condition of immediate infrastructure enhancements. The government could also provide subsidized loans or grants for infrastructure. The government needs to act quickly and decisively to show they care and ensure this doesn’t happen again in 2027 or beyond.

Depending on where you are It’s been atrocious since forever. Constantly random water interruptions and shut offs, now it’s just formalized ig. The issue is that they SAY it’s 17 hours, which means it’ll be even worse. Ask anyone who has called in to ask abt their water being randomly shut off, it’s insane the level of incompetent and uninterested customer service. Literally zero improvement.
