Work is under way to extend the Northern Axis sewage works at Gerani, which is overloaded every summer from the large numbers of visitors occupying holiday accommodation in the area. At the same time a pipeline is to be constructed which will transfer treated water from the treatment plant to be used for irrigating tree crops such as olives and citrus. The Northern Axis Water Board, DEYAVA, is now under pressure to complete the work, which has been delayed for many years, before the end of summer 2024.
