How to order drinking water in Northern Cyprus?

Drinking tap water in Cyprus is not the best idea, so ensuring the delivery of clean water is one of the top priorities on the island.

Even for boiling purposes, it is better not to use tap water because it often leaves sediment on the appliances. Of course, it depends on the well from where the water is sourced, but it is not recommended to use water from the pipeline coming from Turkey for boiling.

Ordering water through the complex administration

If you live in a residential complex, the administration most likely has contacts with water suppliers, as they order water for the office themselves. Usually, the order is placed through a manager in the administration. They often have their own financial interest and do not share the contacts of water suppliers, but you can easily contact them directly using the phone number indicated on the bottle.

Ordering water directly from suppliers

You can find water suppliers yourself, as they usually deliver from a single bottle and operate from Monday to Saturday. Here are the contacts of some companies that deliver water to your home.

Purchase of 19-liter water in the store

It is obvious that you can simply buy 5-liter bottles of water in the store. But many small stores near homes also offer the option of purchasing a large 19-liter bottle for a pump. In this case, you need to leave an empty container in exchange. You can easily recognize such a store - there will be large blue containers from water on the street.
