Italian water infrastructure funding

Entities: Acqua Novara VCO · Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (Italy) · ALFA

Overview

In July 2026 the water service for Bologna was announced to receive more than €243 million for infrastructure upgrades. A month later, in August 2026, regional operators Acqua Novara VCO and Alfa secured separate multi‑million‑euro grants—€6.2 million and €9.2 million respectively—from national recovery programmes to modernise water intake, interconnect municipal networks and improve system resilience against droughts and extreme weather. Together the snapshots show a broader rollout of EU‑backed and national recovery funds to upgrade Italy’s water supply systems at both major city and local levels.
