The Municipality of Geroskipou informs the public that it has begun the necessary works to inspect and clean the drains, in an effort to prevent flooding.

At the same time, residents are asked to take the necessary preventive measures to avoid and better cope with any problems that may arise from heavy rainfall.

To this end, the dumping of pruning waste and unwanted objects and/or building materials on pavements, in open spaces or at points from which they might be swept away by rainwater should be avoided, in order to reduce the risk of the gratings becoming blocked. It is also noted that drainage covers must not be covered with stones, boxes, skips or machinery. Owners of basements are advised to obtain water pumps and to service any existing pumps.
