Italian towns Aprilia and Spartà grapple with heat‑wave impacts on municipal services

In Aprilia, the local branch of the CISL FP trade union has asked the municipal administration to urgently implement measures to protect municipal workers from the extreme heat. The request includes ensuring working‑place air‑conditioning, providing mobile cooling units, supplying constant fresh water in all municipal buildings—including the local police station—and adjusting work schedules during the hottest periods.

In the Sicilian town of Spartà, residents are facing a severe water emergency as supplies have been limited to just one hour per day amid temperatures reaching 42 °C. Councilor Santi Previti has criticized the municipal authorities and regional water agency AMAM, urging them to install public showers along the main road and restore normal water service, describing the situation as a violation of constitutional rights and a public‑health threat.
