Business owners and property holders in Agios Gordios, Corfu, have put their protests on hold after weeks of water supply troubles, citing a clear uptick in service that followed a recent court hearing involving the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company of Corfu (DEYAK). The Association of Entrepreneurs and Owners of Agios Gordios announced the move in a press statement on Tuesday, 30 September 2025.
The Association says that after months of pushing through official channels, it filed for injunctive measures against DEYAK in late July. In the same note, it adds that once the Single-Member Court of First Instance of Corfu took up the request for a temporary order, water pressure improved; members and neighbors noticed the difference.
What does this decision mean for Agios Gordios?
By pausing both street protests and new legal steps, local businesses want to see if the steadier supply holds. The Association underscores that this is a pause, not a retreat, and links it to DEYAK keeping regular service across the network that feeds Agios Gordios.
How did local authorities respond?
The press note does not include a reply from DEYAK or the municipality. As of publication, only the Association’s view has been set out in full. An official cause for the earlier outages, or a schedule for a lasting fix, has not been shared yet and still needs confirmation.
What do residents say about the water issue?
Who is affected and how?
Members say the stop-start supply hit households, guesthouses, and food venues. The recent improvement eased the pressure for now, but residents and business owners want guarantees it won’t happen again, especially when demand spikes.
What are the risks if problems return?
What changed since July?
The Association says it will stay “on the front line” to protect members’ rights if the issue comes back, especially if any “improper interventions” in the network by unauthorized third parties are spotted. These claims have not been independently verified and would need an official inquiry if reported.
What happens next?
Where to find updates?
The Association says it is ready to restart legal action if service dips again. Residents and visitors in the Agios Gordios area of Corfu should watch municipal and DEYAK notices for maintenance plans and service alerts. Our newsroom will update this story as soon as new, solid information appears.
