TIRRENIA. There was barely time to put our feet in the water. Between still cold temperatures and bad weather, the last few weeks have offered only a few enjoyable days at the seaside. But now that the season really seemed to be about to start, with the beaches finally equipped (even if amidst a thousand uncertainties linked to the nightmare – for the concession holders – of the auctions) here it falls on the category of managers of the bathing establishments on the Pisan coast another tile. Even if temporary. A bathing ban because the water is polluted.
The ordinance
The mayor of Pisa, Michele Conti he signed Wednesday 15 May an ordinance which provides for the temporary ban on bathing in the marine stretch of northern Tirrenia, for a length of 2,850 metres, which extends from the intersection with via Bigattiera and arrives after the Tirrenia square, at the height of via dell’ Agrifoglio (near the water park). The provision is extended but, this is the hope, it should not last long.
Analyzes
Following the sampling carried out by Arpat (Regional Agency for the environmental protection of Tuscany) “concentrations of Escherichia Coli exceeding the limits set by the regulations were detected, which make the stretch of coast temporarily unsuitable for bathing”, we read in a note from the municipal administration. The ordinance, adopted for precautionary purposes, will be effective as long as the sampling, which will be carried out by Arpat already on the day of Thursday 16 Maywill not give a favorable outcome to bathing.
