• Frequently asked questions about water in Northern Cyprus

Ordering water through the complex administration

If you live in a residential complex, the easiest way is to order water through the administration or manager of the complex. They usually already have supplier contacts since they order water for offices and common areas.

Some managers charge a fee for organizing delivery, so you can also call the supplier directly — their phone number is always listed on the bottle.

Tip: save the supplier's number in your phone immediately so you don’t have to search for it in emergencies when you run out of water.

Ordering water from suppliers

You can arrange water delivery directly — companies usually operate Monday through Saturday and will deliver even a single bottle.
