A rude awakening this morning for residents of Quartu Sant'Elena, who found themselves without running water due to a sudden water main failure. Abbanoa emergency response teams have been working for hours to perform an emergency repair on the main on Via Corridoni, where a leak was identified and isolated.

This is a primary steel pipeline with a diameter of 350 mm. To carry out the necessary welding, the pipe must be completely empty. For this reason, Abbanoa has ordered the closure of the city's reservoir. This could lead to pressure drops and temporary interruptions in water supply, especially in the higher-lying areas of the town and on the upper floors of apartment buildings.

Technicians explain that the disruptions will continue until the afternoon , when the work is expected to be completed and full service will be restored. The disruption affects only the city center; however, there are no problems along the coast, which is supplied by another aqueduct. In the meantime, the administration has ordered the suspension of teaching activities, with school buildings remaining accessible only to administrative and technical staff.
