Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

Telephoned Lapta Belediye yesterday as I had run out of water to enquire when I might next get some. Answer was that there was a 'well problem' and they had no idea. Later in the day was told by two TC friends in the village that Kibtek had disconnected the pumping station electricity due to non payment of bills. Dare say we will still get a bill for non-available water for the current month! Anybody with further news on this situation?

Seems a shame that they have invested all that money in digging a huge new well at Seviltepe and won't be able to pump it anywhere.

what a load of crp!!
we have to all suffer because they have debts elsewhere!

well its their robbing ways to get money from people.. especially the ones that pay their bills.. to cover for ( their debts.)!

load of crp!

Can anyone else verify this is the problem as we have,nt had water for over four days.

When Lapta took over all the small villages they put up the water charges to them all ie,from 2 tonnes -2tl to 2 tonnes 15tl . a substantial increase,
but they also recently lost all the income from street lighting that they never passed on to Kibtec

We live in Karsiyaka and come under Lapta and we are getting water

Topten you get your water from the mountains above Karsiyaka controlled by a set of valves and mainly using gravity I believe

We live in Baspinar (spring head) I think we are about 4th in line from the supply and we have also had no water for a few days,

But to be fair this is the first time in 6 years that our water as ever been off

Knowing the reason why would be good.

I live in Karsiyaka as well but we have only had mains water twice in a month. The tankers are few and far between and on phoning this morning was told the wells are empty. Back to Alcohol it is then,,,lol.

My Cypriot friend went and saw Namsoy yesterday, and he said the electric has been paid, that's not the problem. She didn't find out what the actual problem was though.

Try this guy irfan he as never let us down phone No 05338461410

You are so lucky, we are in Alsancak and at the moment are getting water every 8/9 days!!

I think I have some facts now. This is how it as just been told to me, from last nights local T.V. news.

Lapta , purchased some private wells and Kibtec expect them to pay the previous owners debt and they are in dispute.

Sounds about right.

My neighbours, son who works for Lapta Belediyesi, told us and his parents yesterday that there won't be any mains water for the next month, surely that won't be allowed will it ?

Our water came back on around 30 minutes ago fingers crossed it stays on awhile.

Makes you pay you bılls ıncase thats the problem !!hehe.......Paıd mıne 2 days ago,promısed bıg pressure next day....enough for shower yıppee but more ınterested thıs savıour water from Turkey....each tıme an offıcıal answer,another month added...a 'yarın'.Any bets next year for date?

Lapta ....
Just had a look in mains water tank and we are about quarter full
Don't suppose we will get any water turned on yet from Belediyesi
So it will have to be a tanker delivery.

stıll no water ın lapta behınd the lambousa sea sıde

Had mains water this morning,near gardens of Babel

still no water
tanker it is.

Have weak water supply this morning in middle Lapta, hopefully enough to fill the tanks.

Live in Karsiyaka and have not had any water since last Monday, phoned Belediyasi today and told we will get some on wednesday , we live in hope!!!
