Paphos: Reduced Water Supply Due to Rough Seas and Sediment

A significant reduction in water production has been observed in Paphos due to intense sea turbulence and the accumulation of sediment in water treatment plants and desalination units. The Department of Water Development (DWD) warns of a possible impact on water supply in the coming days. DWD officials, in collaboration with the Paphos District Council, are working to address the problems immediately and ensure uninterrupted water supply. The DWD announcement emphasizes the need for responsible water use by consumers and measures to limit consumption by the Water Supply Authorities to ensure adequate supply during this period of reduced production. The concentration of sediment, caused by the sea turbulence, hinders the operation of water treatment plants and desalination units, reducing their ability to produce clean water. This situation requires immediate intervention to remove the sediment and restore normal operation of the facilities. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will keep the public informed of any developments. Cooperation between the DWD and the Paphos District Council is crucial for effectively managing the crisis and minimizing the impact on citizens.
