Regional water infrastructure projects initiated in Italy

In Alessandria, the municipality has authorized a restoration project for the historic Valle San Bartolomeo spring, which was inaugurated in 1925. The project, costing approximately 50,000 euros, aims to restore the 1920s kiosk and repair the hydraulic system to reactivate the supply of its characteristic salty mineral water. The initiative is supported by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria and involves several local organizations and companies.

In Basilicata, regional councilor Alessandro Galella has called for the management of the Missanello water treatment plant to be transferred from Acquedotto Pugliese to Acquedotto Lucano. The facility, located in Pertusillo, processes approximately 260,000 cubic meters of water daily. Galella argues that returning management to a local entity would ensure that the significant economic value generated by the purification process, estimated between 12 and 15 million euros annually, remains within the Basilicata region.
