Kato Pyrgos Tillyrias Dam Overflows, Local Official and Ministry of Agriculture Express Satisfaction

The Kato Pyrgos Tillyrias dam has overflowed, a development that has been met with satisfaction by the president of the Tillyrias community complex and the community leader of Kato Pyrgos, Nikos Kleanthous. The overflow is attributed to the completion of cleaning works three months ago, which involved the removal of approximately 90,000 cubic meters of sediment, thereby increasing the dam's capacity. Mr. Kleanthous thanked the government, the President of the Republic, and the Ministry of Agriculture for fulfilling a long-standing request of the community. He also expressed his gratitude to the Nicosia Water Development Corporation for the successful completion of the cleaning project. The Ministry of Agriculture confirmed the overflow and emphasized the importance of cooperation and political will in resolving long-standing problems, while also announcing the strengthening of irrigation projects for 2025 with €1.15 million.
