Seven long hours of open city council, to arrive at requesting the proclamation of a state of emergency for drinking water. With citizens for the first time protagonists of a debate, the one on the quality and quantity of the water that flows from the taps of homes, which should have been overcome by the times and instead, in the city, is still a pressing topical issue. Not a simple topic, especially if the representatives of Asp, Arrical and Sorical do not show up for the discussion.
«From 9 May to 4 December – begins the mayor Enzo Romeo – there were 17 reports relating to the decrease in water flow.” Therefore, we need to intervene, and as soon as possible. How? «The wells present in the city must be reactivated – he highlights –. We need to increase the capacity of the network and focus on doubling the supply pipe that brings water from the Alaco reservoir. The engineering process already carried out by the Region must be completed, as well as more frequent checks must be requested from the ASP”. Fixed points (so to speak) for which he is the spokesperson of the associations, Luciano Gagliardito kick off the speeches of the representatives of the associations. «Today is a historic moment. For the first time, citizens who have always been kept out and in some cases removed following the intervention of the police can participate in the debate.”
