A mobile desalination unit in the Potima area became operational today, Monday, to provide potable water. The temporary unit will initially produce 2,000 cubic meters of water per day, and is expected to produce more than 10,000 cubic meters per day in a few weeks when fully operational.

The unit has already been connected to the water supply of the Pegeia and Kissonerga apartments. Additional units are expected in September and October. Mr. Pittokopitis stated that with these additions and the operation of the unit in Kouklia, the water problem of Paphos will be solved.

Regarding reports of water theft, some cases have been confirmed, and instructions have been given to stop the illegal supply and report it to the Police.
