The water in Cyprus is safe to drink, as water pollution is negligible and every home has fresh running drinking-water. Drinking water comes out of the single tap in the kitchen; however, it is also possible buy bottled mineral water at any local grocery shop if required.

All the District Water Boards are in constant collaboration with the Government Health Services and the General Laboratory, for the prevention of any toxicological and bacteriological infection of water in Cyprus.

Tap-water in hotels, restaurants, public premises, etc., is also safe to drink.

Water is a valuable commodity in Cyprus and there can sometimes be a shortage during the summer. It is important to try to conserve water and not leave taps running.

Water rationing does occur occasionally so it may be useful to store some drinking water in the fridge.
