• Ordering water through the complex administration
• Ordering water from suppliers
• Buying 19-liter water bottles in a store
• Frequently asked questions about water in Northern Cyprus

Ordering water through the complex administration

If you live in a residential complex, the easiest way is to order water through the administration or complex manager. Usually, they already have supplier contacts since they order water for offices and public areas.

Some managers charge a commission for organizing delivery, so you can call the supplier directly — their phone number is always listed on the bottle.

Tip: Save the delivery person's number in your phone immediately so you don't have to look for it in emergency situations when you run out of water.

Ordering water from suppliers

You can arrange water delivery directly — companies usually operate from Monday to Saturday and will deliver even a single bottle.

In many stores in Northern Cyprus, you can buy 19-liter water bottles for a pump. When purchasing, you can return the empty container. Such stores are easy to recognize — large blue empty water bottles stand near the entrance.

Frequently asked questions about water in Northern Cyprus

What is the cost of drinking water?

As of late 2025, the cost of a 19-liter bottle with a container exchange is approximately 100 lira. When purchasing without a container exchange, the price is approximately 585 lira. If you return an empty bottle, you will get back 150 lira.

What are the alternatives to delivery?

If you live on the island long-term, consider purchasing a water filtration system. Household specialists or employees of the store where the filter was purchased can help install the equipment.

Are there water vending machines?

Yes, machines are found in various areas — for example, at this point in Famagusta, at this one in Bogaz, at this one in Iskele, and at this one near Bafra. The cost of water in the machine is 30 lira for 19 liters. If desired, you can also purchase a cap for the bottle for 5 lira in them. However, payment is made in a different bill/coin receiver.

Also, modern drinking water machines are gradually appearing on the island. One of them is installed here.

Tip: During the hot season, order water in advance — in July and August, delivery may take longer due to increased demand.
