HERITAGE OF VAVLA PROJECT
Redevelopment of old well and HAVOUZA

In1917 a well was built for the purpose of providing water in the lower neighbourhood of the village. For water storage a cistern was built which was filled via a stone groove linked to the well.

The system well – water basin, operated until 1925 , after which water was supplied from a source located at the location “Lazaros”. A concrete tank was constructed and a number of taps were built (FOUNTANA-fountains) in the village.

After 1925 the well was used primarily for watering animals. After 1980 the well was abandoned and the area was deserted.

Reconstruction / renovation of the structure and old buildings took place in 2012 and it was financed by the European Union and the Cyprus State, under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 for the Enhancement of Forest Heritage. The expenditure amounted to € 23.000.
