Nicosia Water Supply Council: Significant reduction of water leaks in the network

After intense efforts and collective work, the Nicosia Water Supply Council managed to achieve a significant reduction of water leaks in the water supply network.

Specifically, in 2019, according to the Director of the Water Supply Council, Konstantinos Parmaklis, the titanic effort to tame the mountain water, which is called lost water, began.

“Literally a percentage of 30% of the water that was introduced in the tanks of SYL, was lost due to leaks in the network, thefts and apparent losses due to the sub-recording of consumers' water meters. This percentage was reduced to 16.53% in 2020 through our multifaceted effort not to lose a single drop of water from the network “, points out Mr. Parmaklis.

According to the recorded official data, in 2018 the number of leaks amounted to 9,266, in 2019 the leaks were 8,636 and in 2020 a significant reduction of 7,050 leaks were recorded.

The reduction of uncontrolled water occurred after the efforts of immediate repair of the faults in order to save every drop of water as well as the maintenance / replacement of the network where repeated failures occur.

In recent years, a comprehensive effort has been made to tame lost water. For more effective control, water supply areas are divided into smaller zones.

The Nicosia Water Supply Council also proceeds with a systematic replacement of the old and very used meters without any charge to the consumers as it is a fact that the very old water meters underline and the damage of the priceless water in the SYL receipts is noticeable.

“There will be no complacency. The effort to reduce the lost water in an effective way will be endless “, emphasizes the Director of SYL, Konstantinos Parmaklis.
