Nicosia, Cyprus. District self-government organisations in Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos have voiced concerns over possible household water cuts, with summer supply estimated at 10 per cent less than demand.
Supply outlook and reservoir levels
Nicosia EOA called for timely measures to improve resource management. Larnaca EOA said the situation was challenging as reservoir levels continue to decline.
Concerns over cuts and proposed mitigation
Limassol EOA described water cuts as a “nightmare scenario” and said the use of boreholes may help alleviate the situation. The EOAs said measures were being examined.
Household measures and alternative sources
Paphos EOA said it plans to distribute water-saving nozzles for household taps. The EOAs also said the use of rainwater should be examined as a water source for the island.
How are you preparing to reduce household water use if cuts are introduced?
