This morning, students at the Alberti High School in Cagliari did not attend school due to the persistent lack of running water in the building on Viale Colombo . The taps stopped working early in the day, rendering the restrooms unusable and preventing classes from proceeding as planned.
The problem, long reported, has worsened in recent weeks. As early as around 10:00 a.m., the water supply was completely cut off, leaving both students and teachers without services. According to the school administration, this situation makes it impossible to ensure compliance with health and hygiene regulations.
After repeated reports to Abbanoa and the relevant authorities, the school was forced to close students today to allow inspections and repairs to be carried out on the water mains. According to Abbanoa, the disruption is linked to repeated pipe breaks caused by construction work on the surface metro on Viale Diaz, which have already caused water outages throughout the area in recent months.
This is not an isolated incident: a similar situation occurred in November, when a burst pipe left the neighborhood without water, leading to the closure of the institute and numerous businesses.
Alberti isn't the only school dealing with service disruptions. In recent days, students at De Sanctis High School also protested the malfunctioning radiators, rekindling concerns about the condition of the city's high schools and the need for structural repairs.
