Water Supply to be Reduced in Larnaca, Nicosia and Famagusta for Three Days

The Water Development Department (WDD) has announced a reduction in water supply to the Provinces of Larnaca, Nicosia and Famagusta for three days, from Tuesday, February 17th to Thursday, February 19th. The reduction is due to scheduled maintenance work at the Desalination Unit of Dhekelia. The WDD assures that every effort will be made to optimally manage the available water quantities and cover the water supply needs, in collaboration with the relevant authorities. At the same time, the public is urged to limit water use to the absolute minimum during this period. Effective water use is considered essential for addressing the drought facing Cyprus. The WDD emphasizes the need for responsible and prudent water use in order to guarantee the adequacy of water resources. The Water Development Department asks for the understanding and cooperation of the public and apologizes for any inconvenience that may be caused by the reduction in the supply.
