Water safety crisis in Amantea

Overview

In Amantea, a water safety crisis emerged after the ASP of Cosenza reported a non-compliant parameter in a water sample at a public fountain. In response, the Mayor issued an ordinance prohibiting the use of tap water for drinking or oral hygiene throughout the urban center.

The local political group ‘Amantea Città Libera’ demanded transparency regarding the specific nature of the non-compliance and the reasons for applying the ban to the entire municipal network. Following an ordinance on September 16 that revoked the ban based on SORICAL analyses, local authorities have faced scrutiny. Questions remain regarding the distinction between SORICAL-managed delivery points and the municipal-managed internal network where the initial issue was identified. There are ongoing calls for the administration to release specific analysis results and clarify the interventions taken to ensure water safety.
