Delay in Completion of Water Transfer Project at Kokkinochoma
November 10, 2025
The implementation of the drinking water transfer project at the Kokkinochoma site in free Famagusta is significantly delayed and is not expected to be completed before 2028. The project was initially scheduled to be completed by 2020, but delays have arisen due to bureaucratic processes. The first phase of the project was completed in 2021, while the second phase has not yet started. The main reasons for the delay are related to expropriation procedures. Officials state that tenders for the construction of parts of the project will be announced soon.
