Artemida sewerage scheme: where and when to submit your application for a free connection — and what happens if you don’t apply
Share

There are just a few weeks left for the owners affected by EYDAP (the Athens water and sewerage company)’s 8th notice. The Town Hall accepts applications only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm; applications can also be submitted by email, and if you do not submit anything, EYDAP will install the junction where it sees fit.

The deadline for submitting the supporting documents for EYDAP’s 8th announcement is Thursday 15 October. This applies to property owners on the eleven streets in Artemida and Spata included in this phase, and the project involves the construction of the external branch — that is, the section connecting the property to the sewer on the street. It is being constructed free of charge as part of EYDAP’s works.

Applications are submitted at Spata–Artemida Town Hall, on Vasileos Pavlou and Dimarchou Chr. Beka Streets, every Tuesday and Thursday between 9.30 am and 1.30 pm. There is also a second option that saves you a trip: scan the application form and supporting documents and email them to ydyerpsa@eydap.gr. For further information, please call 213 2007300 for the council’s call centre or 213 2007311 directly.

Two practical points for anyone living in Artemida. The first is that waste collection takes place in Spata, not in Artemida — and only two days a week, for four hours a day. From today until the deadline, there are seven such time slots remaining. The second is that on Vasileos Pavlou Street, the road leading to the Town Hall, roadworks are taking place and buses 305, 316, 319 and 326 have already been diverted. If you’re travelling by bus, check where it stops before you set off.

The exact list of supporting documents is not standardised, and it is not worth trying to guess what it is: EYDAP maintains a separate, up-to-date file for each municipality, and for the Municipality of Spata–Artemida the current version is dated February 2026. You’ll find it on EYDAP’s page for sewerage in Eastern Attica and in the municipality’s announcements. Download it before you go — having to go back for a piece of paper means missing one of the next Tuesdays or Thursdays.

The point that is usually overlooked is the consequence of failing to submit an application. If the owner fails to submit an application, EYDAP may, on its own initiative, install the external connection at a location it deems appropriate. In other words, it is not a question of choosing whether or not the work will be carried out — it will be carried out in any case. What anyone who fails to submit an application stands to lose is the say in where the branch will emerge on their own plot: whether it will pass by the entrance, through the garden, next to the garage or at a point that suits them.

It should also be noted that connection to the sewerage network is compulsory under Law 1068/1980 and Presidential Decree 6/1986. The free installation covers the external branch line; the internal installation within the property and the final connection are the responsibility of the owner and must be carried out by their own plumber; it is therefore advisable to factor in this cost from the outset.

To provide an overview of the project in Eastern Attica, EYDAP maintains an information page at katharonero.eydap.gr.
