Dark liquid from the taps: it is an emergency in Fanzolo

The tanker made available by the Avab of Crespano

A tank truck is available for families. The source of the pollution must be identified, then the cleaning of the pipelines with chlorine

VEDELAGO. It could be prolonged after Monday 9 August, the water emergency in Fanzolo, where from Friday 6 a hundred families he must obtain supplies from a tanker made available by Avab, the forest firefighting volunteers of Pieve del Grappa, or with the bottles distributed by Alto Trevigiano Servizi.

It all depends on the results of the analyzes by the Ulss 2 Hygiene Service: only when no danger is found will in fact be given the green light to restore the supply of drinking water by Ats.

The alarm went off Friday morning When from the taps of the houses north of Fanzolo – involved via Monte Bianco and partly via Ca ‘del Monte and via Artesini – brown water began to gush. It was immediately alerted the Municipality of Vedelago that in turn he turned to Ats: it could in fact be the consequence of works in the water network, with the consequent momentary release of water mixed with the ground.

But there was no work in progress. Then some samples were taken which, analyzed by the ARPAV, revealed the presence of coliform bacteria and Escherichia Coli which can cause malaise and dysentery. The fact that the water had taken on a brown color was fortunate, because this effectively prevented its food consumption: in fact, no person is intoxicated.

Immediately the mayor Cristina Andretta has issued the order of prohibition of consumption until the situation returned to normal. But at the same time the origin of this pollution was also investigated, which sees Ats completely foreign.

The hypothesis that is becoming more and more consolidated is that the pollution was caused in a private area, where a mixture has been created between drinking water and water that is used for irrigation of fields and gardens.

As has happened in the past, recently in Castello di Godego and before that in Loria, it could have happened that a system has been used which, in the event of a scarcity of irrigation water (absolutely not potable), “withdraws” from the drinking water pipes. The malfunction of this system would then lead to contamination.

On this Ats intends to go to the bottom, while for its part it is carrying out analyzes to monitor the situation, even if the final word lies with the health and safety office of the Ulss, and continuing to supply the residents with drinking water.

Some of them complain that they have not been notified of the emergency, but it turns out instead that the information has been disclosed verbally or, in case of absence, with notices in the mailboxes and hung outside.

The sanitization of the pipes involves the use of chlorine and it will be important, before resuming the consumption of drinking water, to intervene not only on the water supply pipes but also in the internal ones of the houses.
