The water situation in Polis Chrysochous is deemed critical, according to Paphos district governor Charalambos Pittokopitis. Following a meeting with officials, he noted that existing and planned measures could manage the situation.

Final irrigation decisions are expected in April after reviewing dam water reserves. A desalination plant is proposed for the area, with operations anticipated by summer 2027, addressing the unreliability of current boreholes. The Water Development Department is also advancing plans for a treatment plant in Neo Chorio and considering additional boreholes to improve water supply for households, tourism, and agriculture.
