Residents in six Athens neighborhoods will face water supply disruptions or low pressure today, Friday, October 31, 2025, according to an official announcement from EYDAP (Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company).
Emergency and scheduled maintenance work
The water company said the disruptions stem from both emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance on the water distribution network. EYDAP noted the work is needed to keep the city’s water infrastructure reliable and safe.
The company listed six specific locations across the Athens metro area where residents should expect either full water cuts or much lower pressure during the maintenance period.
Affected areas and streets
The following neighborhoods and street intersections will face water supply disruptions today:
Gyzi: Chrysolora Emm. Street and Voulgaroktonou V. Street
Egaleo: Pergamou Street and Iera Odos (Sacred Way)
Acharnes: Chalepa Gian. Street and Panagia Myrovlitissa Street
Elliniko: Afroditis Street and Argonauton Street
Kaisariani: Fokeas Street and Effroniou Street
Nea Smyrni: Ainou Street and Xenofontos Street
What residents should expect
EYDAP did not specify exactly how long the disruptions will last in its announcement. Residents in the affected areas are advised to store enough water for daily needs during the maintenance period.
The company typically carries out this work during daytime hours to reduce inconvenience to residents, though no specific timeframes were given in today’s announcement.
Disruptions to the water supply can affect everyday activities, including cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. Residents are encouraged to fill containers in advance and use water sparingly until normal service resumes.
Part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance
EYDAP routinely carries out maintenance across the Athens water distribution network to prevent major failures and keep water quality consistent. The company serves about 4.3 million residents in the greater Athens area, managing one of the largest water supply networks in southeastern Europe.
While inconvenient, these scheduled interruptions are considered essential to maintain aging infrastructure and prevent more serious breakdowns that could affect more people for longer periods.
Athens’ water supply comes mainly from Lake Marathon, Lake Yliki, and the Mornos reservoir, with an extensive pipe network distributing water across the metropolitan area.
How to stay informed
Residents can consult EYDAP’s official website for updates on disruptions and scheduled maintenance. The company also provides a customer service hotline for questions about water supply issues.
For areas experiencing unexpected water problems beyond the announced disruptions, residents are advised to contact EYDAP’s emergency line to report possible leaks or other infrastructure issues.
This announcement is part of EYDAP’s regular communication with Athens residents about planned maintenance. The company typically issues such notices to give residents enough time to prepare for temporary service interruptions.
