My villa is near the Turquaz Garden in Koca Calis.After numerious requests to Ciflik water people all we get is "demand is high so low pressure" has anyone else had this problem and any ideas what can be done. Help please

Post by: sarakiz on August 11, 2010, 18:45:46 PM: We have been quoted 5,000 YTL for a supply which would feed 4 villas. From the new cobbled road, past Turkuaz hotel to the villas.
Sounds expensive but if it solves the problem, it may be worth it.

Just how bad do people think the problem is ?

Gary - could you contact me by email so I can discuss your contacts at the Belediye.
