Italian towns face water crises, council rifts and infrastructure disputes

In Crotone, eight municipal councillors have tabled an urgent motion calling for a new water‑supply line between Calusia and the city plant, after a pipe break left the city without water.

In Imperia, Green‑Left councillor Lucio Sardi criticised the mayor‑less council session, accusing the majority of poor preparation and aggressive reactions.

In Laveno Mombello, the minority “Civitas” group rebutted the Cerro Committee’s claims, emphasizing transparency about political affiliations and warning that debris left at the Sironi pier poses a safety hazard for swimmers.

In Civita Castellana’s Fabbrece district, opposition councillors denounced ongoing water shortages, saying promises of an “water miracle” remain unfulfilled and urging faster action with the regional water provider Talete.

In Catania, Lega councillor Ruggero Strano challenged Mayor Enrico Trantino over the opaque sale of a 12% stake in the airport‑management company SAC, demanding clarity on job impacts and reinvestment of proceeds.

In Sulmona, mayor Luca Tirabassi and the governing coalition defended the exclusion of the mayor from the AGIR waste‑management board, arguing it was mandated by the entity’s statutes.
