Drought emergency in Sassari: restrictions continue, with nighttime water shutoffs.

Water supply restrictions continue in Sassari due to critical issues at the Truncu Reale and Bidighinzu water treatment plants. The drought emergency is particularly affecting the reservoirs in northwestern Sardinia (Cuga and Bidighinzu), coinciding with the high consumption typical of this period and the major efficiency improvements being carried out by ENAS on the Coghinas 1 and 2 aqueducts.

To safeguard the levels of the city of Sassari's reservoirs, Abbanoa announces that, essential to avoiding a total blockage of the supply, until the critical situation is resolved, nighttime service closures will be implemented from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning in the neighborhoods supplied by the Via Milano reservoir serving the upper part of Sassari : Lu Fangazzu, San Paolo, San Giuseppe, Monserrato, Tingari, Monte Rosello Medio, Sassari 2, Porcellana Alta, Badde Pedrosa, Valle Gardona, and Gioscari. The nighttime closures, during the time slot when consumption is lowest and therefore cause limited inconvenience to users, will serve to ensure sufficient supplies to maintain service throughout the day.

At 6:00 a.m., water will be restored from the Via Milano reservoir. Restoration of water supply may take approximately 2-3 hours , depending on the elevation of the users or whether they are served by terminal sections of the network. Based on the increased availability of water resources, Abbanoa will limit closing times, if not operate 24/7. Checks are performed daily.

There will be no interruptions in the neighborhoods supplied by the Monte Oro reservoir and pipeline : Centro Storico, Monte Rosello Basso, Sacro Cuore, Latte Dolce, Santa Maria di Pisa, Porcellana, and Piandanna. There will be no interruptions in the neighborhoods supplied by the Monte Fiocca gravity pipeline : Li Punti, San Giovanni, Sant'Orsola, Caniga, La Landrigga, Bancali, Ottava, San Quirico, San Giorgio, Predda Niedda, and the Bancali prison, as well as in the areas supplied by the Quota 300 reservoir in Serra Secca, which is only partially fed by Truncu Reale (Luna e Sole, Prunizzedda, Monte Rosello Alto, and Carbonazzi).
