Water Cuts and Their Impact on Consumers

February 14, 2026

Consumers are expected to face water cuts on an 'every other day' basis due to necessary restrictions from the Water Development Department. Anticipated system failures are predicted to increase by 30%, impacting water prices and availability. The cutting method has been technically designed to ensure fair water distribution and prevent system collapse. The president of the Nicosia Water Authority, Konstantinos Giorgatzis, presented management scenarios for water supply expected to last for 12 months. The proposed plan includes alternating water supply hours for different areas.
