CATANZARO “Let’s get back to the topic of the water crisis that is becoming increasingly dramatic for the citizens of Catanzaro. Not a day goes by without taps running dry in some areas of the city. In some areas, the “drought” is almost daily. And we continue to receive the incessant and increasingly indignant protests of our fellow citizens.” This is what the councilors of the Action group wrote in the Municipality of Catanzaro Stefano Veraldi, Valerio Donato and Gianni Parisi. «A few days ago we asked for the convocation of an extraordinary Council to receive clarifications and information from the administration on the current situation and on possible developments. We believe it is a dutiful act first towards the citizens and then towards the City Council. The situation is becoming less bearable every day and the citizens of Catanzaro are exhausted. The continuous interruptions from the north to the south of the city that continue for several days with poor information and often provided at the last minute, risk causing very serious inconvenience to a large portion of the population that does not move to second holiday homes and is forced to deal with devastating heat».
«An extraordinary meeting of the council should be called»
“Therefore, and to seriously address what is turning into a real water crisis with huge damage to families, commercial activities and, what is even more serious, to health activities, we reiterate the request to the Prime Minister to proceed with the convening of an extraordinary session of the city council in which the administration informs the citizens of the initiatives it intends to undertake in view of next summer. An open city council in which it would be appropriate to have Sorical and municipal managers responsible for the service take part. It will be an opportunity to have them tell us what is being done to exploit the economic resources dedicated to the aqueducts by the PNRR, to build new tanks and an interconnection between all the existing ones, which will allow us to serve all areas of the city better and with better water. And to know what is being done to implement the “digitalization of water”, with an innovative system already in use in some Italian urban areas and which consists of managing an enormous amount of data collected through hundreds of sensors installed on the network? All promises contained in the programmatic lines of mandate of Mayor Fiorita”.
