The impact on the community was immediate: families found themselves without drinking water, resulting in difficulties in managing daily activities. Commercial activities and public services were also affected by the interruption, making rapid and effective intervention urgent.

Once the critical point was identified, excavation and replacement of the damaged section began. The work was carried out with great precision and attention, to ensure a long-lasting and safe repair. Despite the difficulties linked to the night time and environmental conditions, the technicians showed exemplary dedication.
Support and communication to the population
In the meantime, the municipal administration has maintained a constant flow of communication with the population, providing regular updates on the progress of the works and the expected times for restoring the service. Drinking water distribution points have been activated for the most affected families, with the collaboration of the Red Cross and other local organizations. This made it possible to partially mitigate the inconveniences, demonstrating a great ability to manage the emergency.
