Sorrento Peninsula water and mobility crisis

Overview

The Sorrento Peninsula experienced a dual crisis involving a water shortage and mobility disruptions caused by the closure of the Pozzano tunnel. During the initial shortage, local families and businesses were left without water, prompting the Mayor to deploy emergency measures such as water tankers, drinking fountains, and chemical toilets. Opposition councilor Stefano Marzuillo criticized the administration, citing a “lack of timely information and coordination” and highlighting the fragility of local infrastructure.

Water services were subsequently restored to the municipalities of Sorrento, Sant’Agnello, and Vico Equense after technicians from Gori repaired a major structural fault in a 550mm diameter pipeline in the Vico Equense area. The repair process was reportedly complicated by difficult terrain and a high density of utility lines.
