The Izmir Water and Sewerage Administration (İZSU) announced that planned and rotational water cuts will be implemented during the night hours in 11 districts where water consumption is high across the city between August 6-21. Water cuts will take place every night between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM.
THERE IS A SERIOUS DECREASE IN WATER RESOURCES
According to İZSU's statement, the reason for the cuts is the global climate change, insufficient rainfall, and the resulting serious decrease in water resources. It was stated that the reserves in the dams have fallen to critical levels, and there has been a loss of efficiency in underground water resources.
"SAVING IS NOW INEVITABLE"
In the statement made by İZSU, the following expressions were included: "A serious decrease has occurred in Izmir's water resources. While the water reserves in the dams have fallen to critical levels, a loss of efficiency has occurred in underground resources due to the decline. Many steps have been taken, such as opening new wells, improving existing resources, and taking conservation measures. However, restricting water consumption has now become inevitable."
CALL TO CITIZENS TO "TAKE PRECAUTIONS"
Citizens were asked to take precautions in advance to avoid being affected by the water cuts. It was announced that the implementation would only cover certain neighborhoods according to the technical infrastructure, and additional information would be provided if necessary.
