The water flows again in the Fiumefreddo pipeline. Amam concluded work yesterday on the 12 construction sites opened simultaneously on the Messina mains and city network, ahead of schedule, according to the company. The main tanks were filled during the night and from this morning the supply will start again from the central areas, and then gradually return to normal in all the neighborhoods served.
The balance of the day
The interventions concerned the one meter diameter pipeline that brings water from Fiumefreddo and some critical points of the network and city systems. Despite the complexity of the operations, the company reports, everything took place without obstacles and all requests received from citizens at the emergency number were processed.
