Water quality issues reported in Serradifalco and Sassari

Residents in Serradifalco and Sassari, Italy, have reported significant water quality issues. In Serradifalco, Mayor Leonardo Burgio issued a precautionary ban on using tap water for drinking or food preparation after tests revealed manganese levels exceeding legal limits. While other microbiological and chemical-physical parameters remain compliant, the mayor is working with local health and water authorities to restore safety.

In Sassari, residents in several neighborhoods reported brown water flowing from taps following maintenance work on the Coghinas 2 aqueduct. The discoloration is attributed to sediment movement caused by pressure changes during the reactivation of the water network. The maintenance, coordinated by Abbanoa and Enas, was part of scheduled infrastructure upgrades.
