LIMASSOL SEW.

closed

The proposed project represents part of a two-stage development program of the Government to provide suitable sewerage and flood drainage systems to the major urban center of Limassol and the contiguous area of Amathus. The project's main objectives are to: (i) protect the area's water supply from contamination, thereby eliminating potential health hazards to the populace and preserving the important tourist industry; (ii) eliminate intermittent flooding that creates substantial repair and rehabilitation costs and interrupts industrial and commercial activity; and (iii) contribute to the further rationalization of the management of Cyprus' scarce water resources. The project consists of: (i) a central sewage collection and treatment; (ii) upgrading the existing stormwater flood drainage system; (iii) provision for recycling of treated effluent for irrigation use; and (iv) training of SBLA staff.
