They bring relief to EYDAP , as reservoir levels have risen significantly. Notably, the Mornos Dam has once again reached capacity in the village of Kalio.
Water management, naturally, poses the greatest challenge to survival, the economy, and geopolitical stability. The increased importance of water resources stems from multiple causes. Already, climate change has made the water cycle unpredictable, while prolonged periods of drought alternate with extreme flooding, making water storage and management a matter of national security.
The “threat of water scarcity” is no longer theoretical but a daily reality for many regions of the planet, including the Mediterranean. And in Greece, although the heavy rains of the previous season have improved EYDAP’s reserves, we are still far from the safety levels of previous years.
Access to clean water is the cornerstone of public health, and EYDAP’s strategy—as company officials emphasize—seeks to balance several seemingly contradictory goals.
According to these same officials, EYDAP is committed to ensuring that water is affordable for everyone, and proof of this is that it remains one of the cheapest in Europe. At the same time, however, there is an urgent need to implement a series of projects in the most efficient manner possible to ensure the system’s sustainability.
For this reason, at the heart of EYDAP’s strategy lies an extensive investment program totaling 2.5 billion euros for the period 2025–2034, aimed at the comprehensive transformation of Attica’s water supply model. The approach is based on the principles of the circular economy and on fortifying infrastructure against increasing pressures on water resources.
The allocation of resources also reveals the priorities: one-third of the investments are for water supply projects, such as infrastructure renovation, the construction of new pipelines in areas like Western Attica and the southern suburbs, and the installation of “smart”water meters. Investment in “smart” networks that detect leaks before they are even noticed.
By continuing to invest in technology, people, and infrastructure, with transparency and a commitment to its goals, EYDAP —according to company executives—ensures that its future is as clear as the water it provides: a future of sustainable development, technical excellence, and economic stability.
The importance of water today—they emphasize—requires a shift from a linear “take-use-dispose” to the Circular Economy model, which provides for the reuse of water through wastewater treatment to make it suitable for irrigation and industrial use.
Sustainability is a key pillar of EYDAP’s strategy, which, by following an approach centered on the principles of sustainable development, continues to achieve significant milestones.
2026: A Milestone in the Company’s Growth Trajectory
The company’s CEO, Haris Sachinis, noted during the recent presentation of the company’s results that “2025 was a transitional year as a regulatory framework was implemented for the first time, which starting in 2026 will ensure cost recovery and a reasonable return on investment, creating increased visibility and stability.”
Continuing, he added that “With strong fundamentals, an ambitious investment program, and a clear regulatory environment, EYDAP is entering a new phase of growth, with the goal of sustainable water resource management for the benefit of society and the environment.”
EYDAP’s CEO emphasizes at every opportunity that the company is responsible for the uninterrupted supply of high-quality and affordable water in Attica, noting that water must reach the consumer and continue on its path toward reuse—a particularly critical aspect in an environment of climate change and drought.
Water reuse even in neighborhoods
The Company places particular emphasis on the drainage infrastructure in Psyttalia, with the goal of water reuse. This objective is part of the broader circular economy framework adopted by the Company, transforming a traditionally linear management model into a closed-loop resource utilization system.
Spearheading this effort are the new Wastewater Treatment Plants in Eastern Attica, designed with a focus on reuse, the operation of a pilot on-site wastewater treatment and water reuse facility in Markopoulo for urban irrigation is just one of the innovative projects in which the Company is investing. This involves “extracting” wastewater directly from the sewer network and on-site production of high-quality reclaimed water for urban green space irrigation, saving drinking water that has been used for this purpose until now.
