TISKI warns against unauthorized water use

Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality's Water and Sewerage Administration (TISKI) has issued a warning to citizens against unauthorized water use, especially during the summer months when water consumption increases. The institution stated that using tap water for purposes other than intended could lead to water cuts in many neighborhoods. It highlighted that watering vegetable and fruit gardens with tap water negatively affects the drinking water system. TISKI urged citizens to use water sparingly and avoid unauthorized use to protect water resources and ensure uninterrupted service. It also reminded that reports of unauthorized use can be made via Alo 153 and TIKOM.

In the informational graphic prepared by TISKI, the slogan "Don't use water illegally, don't leave your neighbor thirsty" was used. This slogan emphasized the social impact of individual water use. The institution noted that unauthorized use during periods of increased water demand, especially in hot weather, could cause hardships. Citizens were reminded to use water only for drinking and domestic purposes. The limited nature of water resources and the need for careful use were also highlighted.

In Trabzon, water consumption increases significantly during the summer months. This situation can lead to water shortages, particularly in rural neighborhoods. TISKI regularly issues warnings to prevent this problem. The institution has also intensified inspections to detect water theft. It was stated that legal action would be taken in case of unauthorized use.

To raise awareness about water conservation, TISKI organizes various campaigns. These campaigns include training sessions in schools and public institutions. Additionally, informative content is shared on social media. The institution offers practical tips for more efficient water use. For example, the use of drip irrigation systems for garden watering is encouraged.

TISKI's warnings are important not only for Trabzon but for the whole of Turkey in terms of protecting water resources. Considering the risks of climate change and drought, conscious water use becomes more critical than ever. The institution asks citizens to be sensitive about this issue and report unauthorized uses to authorities. Thus, it aims to prevent water waste at both individual and societal levels.
