Malcolm, the water from the main system os OK to drink. Yes it gets warm, most people have a fridge. Water from the Troodos mountains is available in machine dispensers at 1,30 euros for 20 litres, it is superb. When considering where to live, you must decide exactly what you want when you are here. If you want to live where there is a very large number of Brits, then Paphos or tthe surrounds is your place. If you wish to live a more "Cypriot" lifestyle, then Limassol may suit, it is a large city and caters for most. I would suggest that you seriously consider a "Resell" rather than a new build. In my opinion you get more for your money. These are just a few ideas that I hope may help. I wish you well should you decide to come. It is a wonderful island and most of the Cypriot people are lovely. Regards Michael.
