Applications for matters of water supply will now be processed only online, the Famagusta district local government organisation (EOA), announced on Wednesday.

In its announcement, EOA said the move comes as part of its strategy towards “modernisation and improvement of citizen services”.

The public can upload all the necessary personal data and required supporting documents through the organisation’s renewed digital platform, with no need to visit the EOA offices, the announcement said.

In cases where a physical presence is required, “online appointment scheduling is available which is activated after the electronic application is submitted.”

Anyone who faces difficulties using the online service may communicate via telephone with the EOAA Water Supply Department in order to make an appointment.

The authority’s goal is to provide faster and more efficient service by reducing waiting times and facilitating access.

Other departments will soon follow suit, EOA said, offering online processing and appointment scheduling.
