Last year at Christmas, this time at New Year’s Eve. A new blackout is affecting the Merone aqueduct which from Savuto to the outskirts of the Bruzio capital serves thousands of domestic and commercial users. One-hour dry taps in many homes. In the middle of preparing for dinner. The water pressure gradually decreased, creating inconveniences especially between Piano Lago and the districts of Donnici Inferiore (Santa Croce, Fiego, etc.). Probably due to a sudden disruption in the pipeline or a leak. Or were there “strange maneuvers”?
The reporting
The disservice was reported to the competent offices and to the councilor Francesco De Cicco by the municipal councilor Alfredo Dodaro contacted by numerous families. Last year the problem actually lasted for about 48 hours before the situation was resolved.
«As a municipal councilor of the Municipality of Cosenza, I urgently report the serious water disruption that is affecting some areas of the Donnici Inferiore hamlet», writes Alfredo Dodaro in the note addressed to Sector 6 – Maintenance of Networks, Systems and Buildings, led by the engineer Raffaele Notte, and for information to the councilor Francesco De Cicco.
«In particular – we read – there is a total absence of water in the Santa Croce area and a significant reduction in pressure in the Fiego area, with disruptions attributable to the Merone water network».
The report highlights how “these disservices are causing significant inconvenience for the resident population”, with the request for “prompt intervention to restore the service”. The councilor concludes by declaring himself “available for any further information and to collaborate in the management of the emergency in the interest of the citizens”.
