The water utility and distribution company is resuming the drinking pump in an experiment
Gradually resuming the supply of drinking water in the two Maidan and Market Houses after the completion of the emergency plumbing repair of the main distribution channel.
The national company for the exploitation and distribution of water through the drinking water pump test area resumed gradually on Wednesday 4 November 2026 in the towns of Médon and Homa-Marché on the island of Médine. The gradual return of supplies included the areas of Maidan, Mizraiah and Mahdi after the completion of field maintenance work on the network.
This action came after the foundation's technical teams completed an emergency fault repair work that affected the 600mm diameter main distribution channel at the level of the Meadow Region. Technical fracture treatment required a continuous 24-hour intervention to ensure the water system was restarted according to the technical standards approved for drainage management.
The company had set a water supply return date starting at two o'clock late, after the grain caused a disruption and disruption in the water supply that started as early as 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, where complex repairs required an extension of the working period to fully control the leakage.
These interventions and the management of Tunisia's water networks fall within the legal framework set out in the Organized Water Journal of the Public Facility for Drinking Water Distribution, Sustainability and Ensuring Population Supply.
The next step is to gradually complete the return of natural pressure for water flow across all residential branches in the affected areas, along with continued monitoring of grid stability to ensure its safety and avoid any technical reversals on transportation channels.
