“A treatment station works, as much as in parameters, a normal station, up to 250 mg. Over 250 mg of chlorides per liter, already the treatment capacity is much reduced or there is no longer, which instantly leads to the declaration of water from the public food. There are at least three alternatives on the table that I will discuss today. related to the emergency drilling of deep wells that could compensate for the lack of water source in the locality.

“This means that a number of three pumps, with a capacity of 600 m3 per hour, ie almost 150 liters per second, will be put into operation and practically what is happening today, when we have major infiltrations and when we have significant water evacuations loaded with chlorides during Corund water, a situation that generates a real disaster, which will be a great disaster Starting today.
