Gazimağusa Municipality Major Investment In Water Infrastructure

Famagusta (Gazimağusa) Municipality continues its infrastructure investments without slowing down in order to renew and strengthen the city’s water infrastructure.

In order to provide complete and uninterrupted domestic water needs, which increase especially in the summer months, as well as to minimize the water problem that occurs from time to time in the city, Famagusta Municipality made an infrastructure investment of 8 million TL.

For the renewal and strengthening of the water infrastructure, the Anatolian and Harika Neighbourhood Pipe Laying Project, the Main Water Tank Generator Reinforcement Project for Uninterrupted Electricity, the Main Water Tank Centrifugal Pump Purchase, and the HDPE Pipe Installation Project were all implemented by Famagusta Municipality in less than 1 year.

In addition to these, the Scada system was put into use as a forward-looking investment in water management. Thanks to this system, which will be developed in the process, the water management of the city will be provided with the help of computers. With the Scada system, the main water tank and the water networks reaching the neighbourhood’s will be controlled and recorded, and a possible problem will be intervened remotely.

WITH THE NEW 1700-METER PIPELINE, THE WATER PROBLEM OF ANATOLIA AND WONDERFUL REGIONS HAS BEEN SOLVED

Due to the fact that they are located at the extreme point of the existing water network and are located in the highest area of the city, Anadolu Mahallesi and Harika Mahallesi, which have been experiencing water shortages for years, have been brought to more accessible conditions thanks to the cooperation of Famagusta Municipality and the Water Works Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources. According to the information received from the Famagusta Municipality Water Works Unit, within the scope of the work carried out by the Water Works Department in cooperation with the material supply and the excavation and pipe laying operations of the Famagusta Municipality, a main water network pipe with a diameter of 225 millimetres was laid in an area of 1700 meters.

To reach water in Anatolia and Harika District, the temporary solution conditions provided by the Famagusta Municipality with the borehole water well were improved in this way. This ensured that the regions could reach the water coming directly from the Republic of Turkey, and the well water was cancelled from the network.

IMPROVED THE WATER DISTRIBUTION PERFORMANCE OF THE MAIN WATER TANK

To provide better service, Famagusta Municipality replaced 5 centrifugal pumps, which had been in operation for many years in the main water tank of the Water Works Department in the city but lost their functions, with new generation pumps with high energy efficiency and performance. Thanks to the added electrical infrastructure and replaced pumps, the water distribution performance to the city was increased.

UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRICITY SUPPLIED TO THE MAIN WATER TANK

Famagusta Municipality, which was adversely affected by the regional power cuts and intervened in the problem of disruption in the water distribution service, invested in the uninterrupted service of the main water tank electricity with the high-performance generator purchased. In this way, the main water tank will not be affected by power cuts, and there will be no disruption in water distribution due to power cuts.

Famagusta Mayor Süleyman Uluçay emphasized the importance of both drinking and potable water and underlined that Famagusta Municipality’s investments and works in this direction will continue uninterruptedly in order to ensure the continuity of potable water supply under all conditions with short and medium-term projects in the first stage.

Drawing attention to the global water crisis and climate change, President Uluçay emphasized that data shows that 785 million people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water, and more than 800 children die every day from polluted water due to insufficient water, sanitation, and hygiene problems in communities around the world. Stating that natural disasters due to climate change cause great pollution in water resources, Uluçay said that “water is life” and noted that attention should be paid to water saving as well as the necessary studies to protect our quality water resources.
