Eleven sections of Limassol’s new city centre water network are already in operation, three months after work began on replacing the ageing pipes beneath 220 streets. The project, with a total budget of about €9.2 million, will create a modern distribution network approximately 100 kilometres long, serving about 40,000 residents.
Scope and funding
According to an announcement by the Limassol District Local Government Organisation (EOA), work began in July 2026. The project forms part of the strategy to upgrade Limassol’s water supply infrastructure.
It has secured funding from the European Union’s Cohesion Fund through the THALIA 2021–2027 programme.
Where crews are working now
The Limassol EOA said the contractor’s crews are currently working on streets south of the Fire Station on Archbishop Makarios III Avenue, as well as east of the Garyllis River.
Progress so far
Eleven loops of the new network, with an indicative combined length of 3,623 metres, have been completed and put into operation.
Based on the figures announced, this represents about 3.62% of the project’s total length.
What happens next
Once the new pipes are installed and brought into operation, work will follow to restore the pavements and asphaltaffected by the interventions, the organisation said.
The Limassol EOA said the project is progressing and that the procedures required under the contract and legislation are being followed.
