Local officials and business owners in Alghero have expressed concern regarding sudden utility service interruptions by companies Abbanoa and Enel. These disruptions, which included water supply shutdowns in the historic center, were reportedly announced with minimal notice during the peak tourist season.

Councilman Giampietro Moro has called for urgent mayoral intervention to address the impact on the hospitality, commercial, and restaurant sectors. Moro noted that water service cuts were communicated via SMS with minimal notice, and highlighted that similar unannounced disruptions were recently caused by Enel Distribuzione regarding electrical faults. To prevent economic losses and damage to the local tourism industry, Moro has proposed establishing a formal protocol to protect businesses from arbitrary service closures.
