Big news for Larnaca! 🚧 Our city is set to undergo a massive €400 million infrastructure investment that will transform local communities, improve quality of life, and protect the environment.
This ambitious plan includes eight major projects focusing on sewage upgrades, flood protection, and long-term environmental improvements. It’s not just about construction—it’s about building a safer, more sustainable future for Larnaca.
Modernizing Larnaca’s Sewage Systems
One of the main priorities is the modernization of sewage systems across several towns and villages. This project has been long overdue, and it will:
- Improve public health and sanitation.
- Support future population growth.
- Enhance local infrastructure reliability.
With Phases III and IV already planned, this is one of the largest sewage upgrade projects in Cyprus.
Flood Protection in High-Risk Areas
Another critical focus is flood protection. As many residents know, extreme weather has caused serious damage in recent years. The new works will:
- Reduce flooding risks in vulnerable neighborhoods.
- Protect homes, businesses, and public spaces.
- Provide long-term safety for communities.
New Pumping Station at Oroklini Seafront
A new pumping station in Oroklini will tackle long-standing environmental challenges along the seafront. This project will:
- Improve coastal water quality.
- Prevent sewage overflows.
- Protect the marine environment.
This is a significant step for both residents and tourists who enjoy Larnaca’s beaches.
Timeline and EU Funding
The largest project, Phase IV of the sewage system (€270M), is scheduled to begin in 2027 with funding from both Cyprus and the EU. Meanwhile:
- Phase III (€110M) is already underway and expected to finish in 2026.
- Smaller projects will focus on stormwater management and local home sewage upgrades.
This mix of large and small initiatives ensures that both the city and surrounding villages benefit.
A Cleaner, Safer Future for Larnaca
Overall, these €400M infrastructure upgrades will:
- Make Larnaca more resilient to climate challenges.
- Improve the daily lives of residents.
- Create a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment.
Exciting times are ahead for Larnaca! 🌊🏗️🌴 I’ll be keeping a close eye on these developments and sharing updates as they progress.
