Olona River towns in Lombardy enforce waste clean‑up and swimming ban

In Induno Olona, local police swiftly identified and fined the individuals responsible for a large illegal waste dump placed beside a wall. Municipal workers promptly cleaned and decontaminated the area, and the municipality announced continued monitoring with video surveillance to protect the environment.

In nearby San Vittore Olona, Mayor Marco Zerboni reiterated that a July 2025 ordinance prohibits immersion in the Olona River and its irrigation channels. The ban, reinforced amid rising temperatures, aims to prevent health hazards and water contamination. Signage has been installed along the riverbanks, and violators face fines of €25‑€500 and possible legal action.
