Much discussion on future solutions but total gloom as to any actual activity to solve problem!!!

Drinking water is not a problem as you can buy water coolers for about £50-£70 and you then buy 5 gallon water bottles at around £2. We would not be without as the water from the drinking taps is warm, so at least with the coolers you can get a nice cold drink.
As for the mains water, Tala and Peyia areas are the worst hit in the Paphos district with some people having been without water for a week now.
However this does depend on where exactly you are in these areas as the pressure has been turned down and those proterties on higher ground are just not getting any water at all as the pressure is too low to pump it up.
In the area we live on the other side of paphos we have so far had no cuts at all but our pressure has been reduced by 30%.
