Temporary Water Supply Solutions in Famagusta

October 26, 2025

The establishment of a permanent desalination plant in free Famagusta is delayed due to challenges in finding suitable locations. As a temporary solution, the installation of a mobile desalination unit is being considered to meet water supply needs before the summer of 2026. Four potential sites have been identified to serve the tourist areas. Meanwhile, procedures are underway for a new permanent plant in the Dekelia area. The existing plant is set to close in 2027, making the search for a new solution urgent.
