The investments in the water sector in Catania and its province are at risk due to the stalemate in the management of the integrated water service. The Cisl Sicilia and Catania and Cisl Catania emphasize the need for an industrial plan by the sole operator to have a complete picture of personnel, investments, and impact on employment. The management of the water service is uneven in Sicily, and it is important to comply with national legislation regarding the distribution and tariffing of the water service. The unique management is essential to serve the users, and the absence of an organic vision of the territory has led to management limitations and even sanctions from the EU. It is crucial to make the necessary investments in the water sector as quickly as possible, given the scarcity of water due to climate change.
