WATER SAVING STARTS FROM HOME

The truth of the Climate Change compels us to be more careful about the use of resources. For this reason, the Municipality of Büyükçekmece has started to take measures against the water shortage that may occur in the city after insufficient rainfall this year. Free faucet apparatus was distributed by the municipality to the residents of Büyükçekmece in order to avoid excessive water consumption. The residents were also informed about how to use their water more efficiently. With the application, we are planning to save 350-400 tons of water per subscriber annually.
