Positive outcome for Acqua Amica 2024. The visits to the Sorgente della Lupa and the Orvieto Purifier concluded in recent days, which included the presence of a thousand students from primary and secondary schools from the entire area served by Sii. The project, now in its third edition, was created to make the new generations aware of the value of the water resource and this year, for the first time, involved the students’ visit to the two plants, thanks to the collaboration of Asm Terni and Umbriadue .
In fact, in April and in the first ten days of May, Sii offered guided tours for students from local schools, who greatly appreciated the project. As gadgets, the students received Sii branded safety helmets. Now, for the second phase of Acqua Amica, they will have to carry out work regarding the educational visit. For the occasion, a special jury was formed made up of Sii, Asm and Umbriadue technicians who will judge the entries and decide the winners for each section. The prize will consist of money (3 prizes for primary and 3 for secondary) to be used for the purchase of school supplies. The awards ceremony will be held on June 3rd at the Sala dell’Orologio del Caos, in Terni.
“We are very satisfied – declared the president Carlo Orsini and the managing director Giuseppe Testa – with the success of Acqua Amica 2024. Now all that remains is to wait for all the papers that the students will send us and which will tell us about our project and the importance of protection of water resources and environmental sustainability. Acqua Amica, without a doubt, will continue in 2025, continuing the path started, aware of the fact that environmental education starts with the new generations”.
