Dear customers,
Due to the prolonged drought period in Cyprus the balance between available water supply and actual demand was pushed to its limits for another year. The available quantities of water are not enough to fully cater for our needs. This is why the Government has announced restrictions to water supply for irrigation purposes.
Although these restriction measures are limited, for the time being, to irrigation, it is required by all of us to take all the necessary measures to save water and avoid its irrational waste.
To safeguard against water waste the Water Board of Larnaca is obliged to enforce the requirements of the Water Saving (Special Measures) Law. In accordance with the Law the use of a hose for cleaning road pavements, verandas, fences or cars is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates the Law is guilty of criminal offence and, in case of conviction, can be sentenced to a maximum of three month imprisonment or to a maximum penalty of €513 or to both punishments. Out of court settlement can be made with the payment of a €51 fine to the Board.
Water resources are limited in Cyprus. Save water for your own benefit and for the future generations.
Great importance is given by the Board on the daily and systematic monitoring of water quality to protect the public health. According to the results of chemical and bacteriological analysis, carried out by the State General Laboratory on water samples taken by the Health Services of Larnaka from the Board’s sources, the water reservoirs and various points of consumption, water is healthy and suitable in all respects for human consumption.
Part of the amount of water distributed through the water supply network is not recorded by the water meters of the consumers due to inaccuracies, false indications of water meters and other related causes, or even due to water losses. These losses are mainly due to leaks that cannot be detected in time or damages to the network caused by third parties.
Larnaka Water Board (LWB) has received 7 million euro from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility which it will invest to improve customer service and enhance the efficiency of the utility’s operations. LWB’s investment comes under the Cyprus Recovery and Resilience Plan Policy Axis 2 and specifically Component 2.3 – ‘Smart and sustainable water management’, which comprises of national objectives relating to Water Supply and Sewerage Services.
