According to official data, major accidents occurred at two points simultaneously on the main pipeline built under the water supply project. The cause was uncontrolled excavation.
Specialists from the Water Resources Department and the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) have already begun repairing the damage. However, until the repairs are completed, the water supply to settlements on the Kyrenia – Tatlısu line will be temporarily suspended.
