On the day of the evacuation the water mains will not be deactivated. This was made known by Talete who in a note recalls that “the Prefecture of Viterbo has issued an evacuation notice for residents in the area identified within 1,400 meters from the point of discovery of an unexploded war device, located in via De Gasperi. The evacuation will be necessary on May 7th to allow the completion of the bomb safety operations. In order to guarantee the safety of citizens – continues Talete – the electricity and gas supply will be interrupted in the area surrounding Via De Gasperi, within a radius of 500 meters from the point of discovery of the bomb. However, the water mains will not be deactivated, as they do not pose a risk of interfering with the effects of a potential explosion.”
In any case, Talete strongly advises all users to close the water meters of their homes and/or businesses to prevent any leaks in the internal systems. Access to the area is strictly prohibited, making any repair work impossible in case of damage. For any emergency or additional information – he underlines – please contact the following emergency numbers: landline and mobile number: 800226678 For general information, please contact user service on 800 949340 in the days preceding May 7 .
