There water crisis bites Irpinia and the inconveniences caused by water supply interruptions also affect the capital. The cause of the disservices in the city was a combination of causes which led to suspensions concentrated for many hours, especially in the upper part of via Tuoro Cappuccini and the Archi district, as well as low pressure problems for higher users between via Annarumma and via Tagliamento.
In addition to the increase in consumption, largely due to the high temperatures of recent days, and the physiological decline in sources linked to the start of the summer season, there have been two major leaks to be repaired in the city and the fault on the electricity line. Enel electricity supply which blocked the pumps of the Fontana dell’Olmo wells. This caused great difficulties for a large portion of Avellino’s inhabitants. In particular, for those whose users are powered by the via Pennini reservoir. In this case, the intervention was carried out by technicians from the Italian energy spa.
But once the line was restored, the High Heat workers they had to restartwith all the necessary precautions, the lifting system connected to it which pumps the water into the pipeline which it connects to the Pennini reservoir and supplies the water networks serving Monteforte Irpino, Mercogliano, Ospedaletto d’Alpinolo, Pietrastornina, Summonte, Sant’Angelo a Scala and Roccabascerana. In addition to the municipality of Pannarano nel Sannio. Although the repair took place quite quickly, the system restoration procedures, with the filling of the pipes and tanks, had to be carried out without forcing due to the air present in the pipes which, without checking the vents, could cause breakages on the sections more delicate. Therefore, as announced by Alto Calore itself, a complete normalization of the service is expected this morning. During which other specific checks will be carried out. Furthermore, in order to guarantee the definitive restoration, the ACS carried out a series of suspensions of the water supplyfrom 10pm yesterday to 6am this morning.
The objective is not to be forced, as manager of the Integrated Water System, to turn off the taps during the day, also causing damage to commercial activities, as well as inconvenience to families. At the same time, High Heat operators intervened, following the preparatory works of one of the three still active companies in charge, on the leaks in via Annarumma and via Zoccolari, respectively, near the swimming pool and the municipal stadium. Interventions carried out with the latest available resources and in view of a constant shortage of companies which must be identified as soon as possible through specific tenders. An operation which at the moment sees the leaders of Corso Europa hesitating due to the expenditure authorization, already requested, which does not arrive from the judicial commissioners, supervisors of every disbursement that does not concern ordinary management pending the approval of the agreement. At this rate, however, with hundreds of interventions set aside, there is a risk of interruption of service.
Moreover, other problems, for anomalous absorptions of the resource, concerned the municipalities of Pratola Serra and Prata PU, Ariano (Martiri district, Cardito district, Provincial Road 414, Pip area and all rural districts), Scampitella, Pago Vallo Lauro, Domicella, Taurano, Marzano di Nola, Lauro, Moschiano and Fifteen. In all cases, a water suspension was carried out from 10pm last night until 6am this morning. Faced with this situation, in recent days a new meeting was held in the Prefecture with all the actors interested in the water emergency, establishing the parameters of the replacement service with the fire brigade’s tankers, which are not, however, suitable for transporting the drinking water.
