Water Saving Initiative for Hairdressers and Barbers

The Water Development Department (WDD) is promoting a pilot action to save water in hairdressers and barbershops, distributing nozzles that reduce water consumption. The first batch of 1,500 nozzles (1,100 for outdoor taps and 400 flow regulators for showers) was delivered to the president of the Limassol Hairdressers Association, Alexis Nikolaou, for distribution and installation in hairdressers and barbershops in Limassol. The action is part of a wider campaign by the WDD and the Ministry of Agriculture to reduce water consumption. The WDD will continue to distribute nozzles to organized bodies and businesses throughout Cyprus. The aim is to promote the responsible use of water resources and reduce water waste.
