The majority of the communities mentioned above, had an internal water distribution network with pipelines made of asbestos, resulting in poor quality water supplied to residents.
The table in the right, shows the total peak population of all the communities, for each design phase.
The design of the project was pursuant to the Greek Presidential Decree 696/74. The design of the pipelines was for a 40-year horizon.

The design of the project was pursuant to the Greek Presidential Decree 696/74. The design of the pipelines was for a 40-year horizon.
Specifically the project included:
- internal water distribution networks of the Municipality of Maronias’s communities, with an overall length of 53.400m and pipeline diameters of 90mm – 110mm
- external networks of water supply pipes (total length: 1.900m and pipeline diameters of 90mm – 110mm)
BENEFIT
The upgrading of the water supply and distribution networks, solved the drinking water problem of in villages Vakos, Pamforos, Amaranta, Kallithea, Isalos, Salmoni, Askites, Nea Petra, Imeros, Profitis Ilias, Venna, Mirana and Ergani in the Municipality of Maronia.
