Italian local water infrastructure upgrades

Entities: Marcello Forcellini · Patrizia Romano · Lorenzo Sospiri · Tissi · Abbanoa

Overview

In late July 2026, the Union of Communes Amiata Grossetana announced a three‑year €100,000‑per‑year programme to clean and maintain minor watercourses across the Amiata Grossetana area, aiming to improve runoff safety and protect local communities during heavy rains.

In early August, the municipality of Tissi began construction of a new municipal well and a complementary water‑storage tank, funded with €250,000 from the regional Civil Protection and slated for completion by September 2026. Mayor Gian Maria Budroni said the project will strengthen the continuity of water supply for the whole community. At the same time, the water‑service firm Abbanoa is carrying out leak‑detection and repair work on the existing network, and the first municipal well has already been re‑activated. These coordinated actions illustrate Tuscany’s broader push to modernise and harden local water management, combining preventive upkeep with new supply assets to enhance resilience, reduce waste and improve service reliability for residents.
