Italy water crisis: Municipalities implement restrictions and seek drought aid
Various Italian municipalities are implementing measures or facing public pressure due to water scarcity and quality concerns. In Tolentino, Mayor Mauro Sclavi has issued an ordinance effective until December 31, 2026, to restrict water consumption. The mandate prohibits washing vehicles, cleaning courtyards, and filling private pools. Garden irrigation with potable water is strictly limited to nighttime hours between 10 PM and 6 AM.
In Corleto Monforte, the local administration has formally requested that the Campania Region recognize the 2026 drought as an exceptional event. This designation is intended to trigger support measures for agricultural and livestock businesses suffering from depleted pastures and water shortages.
Meanwhile, in Bassano Romano, a newly formed water committee is protesting against the water utility Talete. The committee is demanding increased transparency regarding water quality, regular public reporting on safety tests, and the establishment of a local service point to address issues such as low water pressure and non-potable water.
