Sarno River pollution investigation and regulation

Overview

Authorities have intensified efforts to combat pollution in the Sarno River basin through both legal enforcement and legislative action. In Sant’Antonio Abate, investigators seized a 3,000-square-meter industrial area operated by DM Technology Srl. The seizure follows allegations of illicit waste management, including the illegal discharge of effluents and the uncontrolled deposit of waste. Inspections revealed that wastewater from vehicle washing was bypassing a poorly maintained purification plant to flow directly into the public sewage system.

In response to ongoing environmental concerns, the Campania Region is developing a new bill to implement stricter administrative sanctions and increased inspections for companies discharging industrial waste. President Roberto Fico identified the food preservation sector as a priority for heightened vigilance. These measures are part of a broader 407 million euro environmental recovery program focused on land reclamation and hydraulic risk mitigation, with regional authorities aiming to close the final ten sewage outlets connected to the river by spring 2027.
