Lapta Water Problem

[meldy]

I phoned the Belediye this morning as we hadn't had water for a number of days. The response was that 'we have a problem, Lapta's well is dry and they are boring it deeper just now but don't know when it will be finished' To the question 'will we get tankers of water?' the answer was 'no, the problem is to widespread to be able to give tankers of water'. Anyone know any more, or had water recently in Lapta/Karsiyaka area?

Our water is on tonight

[meldy]

Where are you?

Meldy-I think your answer was in the original post.

[numpty]

I am in Lapta,, we also had water last night.

Think its a problem all over this year - we are in Alsancak and its every 6-7 days here.

Meldy.

We live in Lapta and we have had no problem as yet

Always a full tank, must just be one of the lucky ones...

Meldy, where in Lapta do you live. I am mountainside and we have water every day so far.

Hi we live in Karsiyaka and the water has gone off this morning, we thought we we're doing well too, so I suppose this is the start of restrictions every week now

We also live in Alsancak,water has been rationed since 1st week of May 2013,was 4 off, part day on,now I reckon its 6 off 1 on. Just above Acmenya area.

Becker, I wouldn't be surprised if the Riverside complex picks up most of the slack in your area. I gather they have wells but whether they are sufficient only they and the Belediyer know!

Stellastar 1, we are in Karsiyaka, seaside near the abandoned army camp. Hubby was at belediye office in Lapta today and given the same story about a problem with the well. Funny that it seems to be affecting so few though!

You will live in the wonderful East.
As in a earlier post live next to a good football stadium water no problem.
This may stir the hornets nest, never had problems with water in 22 yrs.

We're in Karsiyaka, Seward side, not far from the Square, we had water last Sunday, it was back on earlier today/evening.

We live on the way up to the Baspinar and are only getting water for about an hour every 3 or 4 days.

[meldy]

Ah well (or not so well) further phone call to Belediye this morning armed with info that everyone else seems to be getting water, brings forth the fact that it is the low pressure caused by low water level that results in some areas not getting water as there is not enough pressure to get it to us. Obviously we are the end of the line! Pity the army camp down here is abandoned now, because when it was operational there was an endless supplky of water to it and we were on the same line. Que sera.............
Enjoy your water folks

You are not alone! We live in Catalkoy on the road up past the riding club. We get water two or three times a week and unless we go and complain then we can go up to 10 days without water! Have heard every excuse in the book over the last three years but never the one that is true! Simple fact is that when the guy on the moped comes up and turns on the valve we have water, the valve turns itself off automatically but needs manual intervention to turn it back on again. Too much effort required to either fix the valve or send the man until we complain!!! The Cyprus illness. Glad we have a well!

[meldy]

Yeah, water on today - Cypriot friend spoke to numerous people yesterday and suddenly the problem seems to be solved!
