Social Cartel: Water crisis – “don’t waste any more time, the only answer to the crisis is the watermaker”.
“The summit convened by the prefect of Agrigento, in the presence of mayors and representatives of the police, to take stock of the serious water crisis that the provincial territory is experiencing, confirms the gravity of the situation in which our time finds itself.” The Social Cartel says so. The summit in the Prefecture confirms a crisis already in its final stages for some users with water supplies lasting more than 12 days.
The Cartel’s reference point is the city of Agrigento, but the crisis is strongly felt in other cities.
“The drilling of new wells and the strengthening of the water supply service via tankers – continues the Social Cartel – can contribute to filling the needs which have worsened, also following the 30% reduction in the supply coming from the plants owned by Siciliacque However, the mayor needs to immediately urge the intervention of the Civil Protection to restore the Porto Empedocle desalination plant, trying to start working towards water independence, which as the Aica leaders have recognized is an objective which unfortunately cannot be achieved immediately. .”
“Furthermore, the strengthening of the tanker service, which allows the use of sources present underground but not connected to the distribution network and which was inspired by the emergency of recent weeks, can perhaps contribute today to alleviating the inconveniences of the population but we need to think about the next few weeks when, given the increase in tourist arrivals, the need for the precious liquid will increase.” Thus conclude for the Social Cartel: Don Mario Sorce, Alfonso Buscemi, Paolo Ottaviano and Gero Acquisto
