Atac investigates reports of water contamination in Rome bus fuel

An investigation has been launched by Atac, Rome’s public transport agency, regarding reports of water contamination in the fuel tanks of the city's bus fleet. The issue was brought to public attention by Lega councilor Fabrizio Santori, who is demanding transparency from Mayor Roberto Gualtieri.

Santori has raised several questions regarding the incident, including whether Atac has formally confirmed the presence of water, if the contamination has caused technical failures or vehicle downtime, and who will bear the financial responsibility for any resulting damages. There are also inquiries into whether a formal complaint has been filed to determine if the contamination occurred within the storage tanks, during supply, or elsewhere in the chain.

The situation has sparked a broader debate regarding the management of public services, the protection of public funds, and the overall efficiency and safety of Rome's transportation network. While specific details regarding responsible parties or timelines have not yet been officially released, the case has increased public concern over the governance of the city's transit infrastructure.
