Nicosia District Self-Government Organization reports significant reduction in water loss

On Monday evening, the President of the Nicosia District Self-Government Organization (EOA), Konstantinos Yiorkadjis, announced a significant milestone regarding water management in Cyprus. During an event marking the organization's 2.5 years of operation, it was reported that the rate of non-revenue water—primarily due to leaks—in the Nicosia district has been reduced to 22%.

This performance is notably better than the national average of 33% and even lower than the European average of 25%. Mr. Yiorkadjis emphasized that because Nicosia accounts for 40% of the island's total water volume, the reduction to 22% results in a total savings of approximately 14 million cubic meters of water annually. He characterized this achievement as potentially the most significant success for the organization, particularly given the ongoing drought challenges faced by Cyprus.

These efforts are part of a broader infrastructure and management strategy aimed at curbing resource waste in a country suffering from water scarcity. The EOA continues to focus on maintaining and improving these efficiency levels to ensure long-term sustainability for the region's water supply.
