In 2018, Cyprus had 57 urban waste water agglomerations of more then 2 000 population equivalent (p.e). These agglomerations generated a total load of 1 029 000 p.e. 83% of this load is connected to collecting systems and 2% addressed through Individual and Appropriate Systems (storage or septic tanks, micro-stations,...). These agglomerations are connected to 1 secondary treatment plants and 16 more stringent treatment plants. All these treatment plants have a total design capacity of 1 352 749 p.e.

Water re-use
2018 : 95.4 % of treated waste water are re-used. This water is used in agriculture and in others use.
Explanation : Rivers dry beds & Aquifers for IN & IR, Dam for IR
The 6900 t DS/y mentioned in others refers to 1281 t DS/y of sludge tranported for anaerobic treatment for biogas production, 4705 t DS/y of sludge tranported for compost production and to 914 t DS/y of sludge storaged at the plants to be reused.
