The Nicosia District Local Government Organisation (NDLGO) and the Thessaloniki Water Supply and Sewerage Company (EYATH) on Tuesday signed a 38‑month contract worth €257,699 to utilise EYATH’s expertise in Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
The agreement was signed for NDLGO by the organisation’s President, Constantinos Yiorkadjis, General Manager Konstantinos Parmaklis and Financial Director Antonis Antoniou, and for EYATH by Managing Director Anthimos Amanatidis.
According to NDLGO, the collaboration will focus on developing a modern, integrated geoinformation environment to improve the recording, monitoring and management of the organisation’s networks and infrastructure.
The project, which follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two bodies last May to strengthen cooperation on water management, includes the digitisation and integration of existing data on water supply, sewerage and stormwater networks, the creation of a unified geospatial database, the development of an Enterprise GIS infrastructure, and training for NDLGO staff. EYATH’s expertise will also be applied in asset management, customer care and business process optimisation.
Speaking after the signing, Yiorkadjis said the growing challenges in water resource management demand modern solutions. “For the Nicosia District Local Government Organisation, digital transformation is the means by which we can better manage our infrastructure, make faster and more informed decisions, and respond effectively to the needs of our citizens,” he said. “Through our collaboration with EYATH, we are drawing on significant experience and expertise to create a modern digital infrastructure for the management of our networks.”
Amanatidis stressed that only through partnerships can current challenges be met to ensure reliable water supply and sewerage services. “This is a partnership based on mutual benefit. We can support NDLGO in certain areas, while we look to NDLGO’s technology in others, now that EYATH has also expanded and is taking on entire regions,” he said. “I am confident that in the coming years, not only will this collaboration flourish, but it will also extend to other areas.”
