Anyone have any idea just when the promised water will be coming from the 'Motherland' please?

My son has invited some of his friends over next month and I am hoping we do not have to subject them to water rations!

This is after all the twenty first century!

Even the mighty space age UK had water rations and hose pipe bans a couple of years ago.

Here in Morphou we have water 24/7 but this year there has been a reduction in preasure. We have 2 , two ton water tanks but the motors on both have busted due to us never using them!

Agreed. The difference being the UK (once under the imposed ban) does not tend to misuse the whole water situation and the powers that be will adhere to the law and actually administer the relevant fines. You cannot say the same for Cyprus

And what has our village done to alleviate the water shortage do you think…?

Correct, planted a brand new grass football pitch!

NEW FOOTBALL PITCH & RECREATION GROUND
Progress has been made towards the completion of the new state-of-the-art grass
football pitch at the top of the Village. With the completion of the levelling works
and the installation of complex drainage, the inevitable taxing logistical problems
have been successfully tackled. We are now waiting for the watering tanks for
irrigation, which will feed from an adjacent dedicated borehole and will not affect
normal Village water supplies. On Monday they will start fencing the area (no dogs!).
Seeding is to be done next Thursday.

The pitch will provide a great amenity for the Village for many years to come. The
location, right next to the two village schools, is ideal.

The project started over a year ago, and the bulk of the heavy work has been
carried out by Sappers from 62 (Cyp) Sup Sqn RE from Dhekelia as a donation to the
community. The Forces team, for whom this sort of project is not only rewarding
but a useful logistical experience, has been warmly welcomed and cosseted by the
local community. They have been challenged to a match with the Village when the
pitch is ready.

Some 3000 tons of earth, needing 120 lorries, have been moved to and spread on
the site. From the pictures below you will get an idea of the scale of the huge heavy
plant needed, including the sifting of the earth into clean sand for the surface of
the pitch. The finished pitch will be 6,600 square metres. It will have a caretaker,
appointed by the Council, solely responsible for maintaining the pitch.

The Mukhtar, and the Village, are grateful to the Chief Officer of the SBA, Peter
Draycot, LCpl Paul Patterson and the squadron SNCOs and Mr. Akis. The
coordinator of the management of the project from within the Village has been
Petros Foutas, our Village Office Executive Secretary, who must feel a great
satisfaction at the successful conclusion of such an immense project. Plans and
technical supervision were carried out by Mr Stefos Zachariou, the Technical
Advisor of the Council.

You mean it will not be an artificial pitch?

Is there not a new desalination plant coming online in September?
