"It's possible that after 24 hours of turning off the water, another 4 or 5 hours need to be added to fill the system and reach the required pressure, and then what comes out of the taps is this disgusting mess."
Bonorva Mayor Massimo D'Agostino took to social media to vent, accompanied by photos: a thick, brown liquid was coming out of the tap. "It's disgusting, indeed." So much so that the mayor added: "I'd like to stay calm. I don't want to always seem pissed off. I'd like to try to reason. I'd like not to take it out on the Abbanoa workers, who I believe are doing their best. I'd like to understand, just understand."
The basins are almost empty; writing "networks" always means adding "sieve." "Is this an emergency situation? Then it must be treated as such," urges D'Agostino.
"A state of emergency should be declared or different, more effective measures should be adopted, because it is intolerable that homes with families, children, elderly people, and disabled people should endure a similar situation for much longer. What would happen if this were to happen in the offices of the city council?" the mayor asks rhetorically. "The issue must be addressed by those in charge, with the most appropriate measures and civilized solutions. We are not willing to remain a shield against families' desperation for much longer."
