The city of Heraklion is currently undergoing a major water infrastructure upgrade led by DEYAH, the municipal water and sewerage authority. Work is actively underway to replace aging water supply pipes throughout the city, a project that positions Heraklion as having the most modern water distribution network of any municipality in Greece. The Mayor of Heraklion visited the construction site to inspect progress firsthand.
