Sources: 3. Developments: 2. A water crisis in the Abruzzo region has led to increasing pressure on Sasi, the regional water utility. In mid-August, twenty-six municipalities representing approximately 36 percent of Sasi’s share capital requested an extraordinary shareholders' assembly. Led by Tollo Mayor Angelo Radica, these municipalities sought to determine if the ongoing water shortages, which began in June, were due to structural or situational factors and demanded concrete short-term solutions. By late August, the focus expanded to include demands for financial transparency. Six environmental and consumer associations called on the Municipality of Vasto to convene the ‘Tavolo per l’Ambiente’ to discuss the allocation of a 10 million euro fund intended for Sasi. These groups are seeking details on planned infrastructure improvements, such as network repairs and digitalization, while advocating for the use of low-impact technologies to minimize environmental disruption. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Vasto environmental groups demand transparency over 10 million euro water fund Environmental associations in Vasto are demanding public transparency and a formal meeting to discuss 10 million euros in funding allocated to Sasi for water infrastructure and digitalization projects. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vasto-environmental-groups-demand-transparency-over-10-million-euro-water-fund ### 2026-08-16: Sasi shareholders' assembly requested by 26 municipalities over water crisis Twenty-six municipalities in Abruzzo, Italy, have called for an urgent Sasi shareholders' assembly by August 28 to address a water shortage emergency that began in June. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sasi-shareholders-assembly-requested-by-26-municipalities-over-water-crisis --- Cite as: Water crisis and infrastructure management in Abruzzo.
