Eleven streets and sections of streets in Artemida have been included in the 8th notice issued by EYDAP, the Athens water and sewerage company, for the construction of external branch connections to the foul sewer network. Owners of properties on those streets are asked to file an application with supporting documents by Thursday 15 October 2026. The branch connection is built free of charge, as part of the company's works contracts.
The additions in Artemida are: Street 33, on the section from Sotiros to Street 20, and Street 58 from Street 20 to Kritis; Street 57 from Sotiros to Kritis; Iatrou Prifti from Sotiros to its far end; Street 30, on the extension of Street 40, from Street 9 to the end of Planning Unit 5; Streets 42 and 71 on the same section, from Street 9 to the end of Planning Unit 5; Street 43 from Sotiros to Street 9; and Streets 46, 47 and 48 on their sections from Sotiros to Street 9.
In the Spata area the list is longer and covers sections of Mikras Asias, Dim. Sideri, Chelioti, Elias, Theof. D. Markou, Pavlou Mela, Eleftheriou Venizelou, Asklipiou, Ippokratous, Megalou Alexandrou, Thoukydidou, Thiseos, Theodorou Kolokotroni, Ypsilantou, Filikis Etaireias, Odyssea Androutsou, Dionysiou Solomou, Vasileos Georgiou A', Arkadiou and Georgaki, together with three unnamed dead-end side streets.
An external branch connection is the length of pipe running from the property to the main sewer in the street. It is the point at which the house's internal plumbing will eventually be connected, and its position is being fixed now — not when the connection is finally made. That is why it matters for the owner to state where they want it to come out.
The completed application and supporting documents are submitted at the Spata–Artemida Town Hall, at the junction of Vasileos Pavlou and Dimarchou Chr. Beka, every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 13:30. Alternatively they can be scanned and sent to ydyerpsa@eydap.gr. For information EYDAP gives the numbers 213 2007300 and 213 2007311.
The point that deserves attention: if the owner does not submit their details, EYDAP states that it may proceed with construction on its own initiative, choosing the position it considers suitable. In practice, anyone who lets the deadline pass will find the branch connection wherever the company put it, and moving it later will not be free. For apartment blocks and properties with several owners the process goes through the building manager or another legal representative.
A second clarification is needed, because it has confused many people in the previous notices: building the external branch connection does not mean the property can be connected yet. The connection will only be made after the owner receives written notification from EYDAP and after the Wastewater Treatment Plant has been completed and put into operation. The company warns explicitly that connecting early can put workers on the project at risk and cause environmental pollution.
The 8th notice is the latest in a series that began in October 2025, with the 7th published in June 2026. Each round adds new sections of the network that have reached the branch-connection stage, so a street that does not appear today may be included in the next one. Connection to the foul sewer network, when the time comes, is compulsory under Law 1068/1980 and Presidential Decree 6/1986.
