Limassol authorities have launched a €9.2 million project to replace around 100 kilometers of ageing water pipelines in central Limassol, aiming to improve water quality, reduce leaks and lower maintenance costs, the Limassol District Local Government Organisation (EOA Limassol) announced on Thursday.
EOA Limassol President Yiannis Tsouloftas spoke at the launch ceremony, confirming the project’s funding and scope. The organization also announced that water supplies in parts of central Limassol will be suspended on Friday, 7 August, between 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. as work continues. The interruption will affect the area north of the Second Technical School .
In Tallinn, technical issues and outdated route signs have disrupted public transportation following changes to the network that took effect on 1 August. New battery-powered trolleybuses began operating alongside adjustments to roughly one-third of the capital’s transit routes. Deputy Mayor Kristjan Jesse acknowledged delays in updating passenger information, noting that around 500 bus stops require new route maps, with work expected to continue for another one to two weeks. Jesse added that stickers had been placed at stops to alert passengers to the changes. Drivers and passengers have also reported technical problems with route number displays on the new trams and trolleybuses .
Meanwhile, Tallinn officials confirmed the city will not rebuild its stormwater drainage system to address water quality at Inglirand beach. Instead, Deputy Mayor Kristjan Järvan said authorities are focusing on identifying illegal wastewater connections .
