Various regions in Sicily are addressing or facing challenges related to public infrastructure and services. In Siracusa, an investment of €155,000 was announced to overhaul the water network in via Ispica to resolve service disruptions by replacing obsolete pipes. Meanwhile, in Modica, parents are advocating for improvements to school catering, specifically requesting a new tender to move toward on-site plating to reduce food waste and plastic use.

In Palermo, construction has commenced on a new sewage branch to resolve sanitary issues caused by a malfunctioning lifting plant. However, in Santo Spirito, recent waterfront renovations have faced criticism after heavy rainfall caused sewage and rainwater to flood the Piazza Roma covered market, leading to calls for legal action regarding potential technical failures in drainage and paving.
