Frequently asked questions
Who handles water — EYDAP or the municipality?
In Attica it is usually EYDAP; in the rest of Greece the local municipal water utility (DEYA). The meter/supply number on the bill points to the responsible provider.
Do I have to visit an office or can it be done online?
Many DEYA utilities and EYDAP now accept online applications for a name change, with the death certificate attached. Check the provider's site before booking an appointment — you'll often save the trip.
