Dry Taps, Vague Answers
Heraklion’s Municipal Water Company (DEYAH) announced that the Aposelemis treatment plant remains out of service, leaving the city’s water supply in limbo. Despite repeated requests, the Organization for the Development of Crete (OAK) has not provided a clear timeline for when the problem will be resolved. Until then, interruptions are expected to continue — and possibly worsen.
Where the Water Runs Thin
The shortage is hitting some districts harder than others. Severe problems are expected in:
- Inside the Venetian Walls
- Poros
- Analipsi
- Kipoupoli
- Ethnikis Antistaseos
- Pateles
- Agios Ioannis Knossos (south of Chatzaki Street)
- Kaminia – Deilina
Smaller disruptions are anticipated in:
- Agia Aikaterini
- Therissos
- Atsalenio
- Mastampas
- Nea Alikarnassos
Appeal for Restraint
DEYAH says it has activated all available reserves but admits they are limited. The agency is urging residents to use water responsibly, avoiding tasks that drain large amounts — such as washing courtyards or cars. The message is simple: until Aposelemis is back, every drop counts.
