Reasons for Outages: Strengthening Infrastructure and Security
These planned cuts overhaul of aging infrastructure and energy distribution centersincludes his work. Modernizations in the electrical energy infrastructure provide a safer and more stable energy flow. At the same time lost energy reductionAnd raising the infrastructure standardis targeted. The outages aim to establish a more resilient system against the city’s dynamic population and increasing energy demand. In this process, the safety and comfort of citizens are protected at the highest level; The work is completed in a short time with the coordinated work of the field teams.
Downtime and Citizen Responsibilities: When and How to Prepare?
Water outage due to planned maintenance and repair works tomorrow from 10.00 to 14.00It is planned to last. During this time, continue your daily life with minimal impact by following these steps:

Don’t worry during this process: infrastructure teamsquickly stabilizes fluctuations and confirms that the water is safe or clean. If you notice a leak or an unusual situation in the plumbing at home, get support from the municipality and İSKİ communication lines.
Future Insight: Investments and Expected Results
