Water repairs to disrupt supply across parts of Friuli Collinare
A leak in a main water pipe near the Gjavons pumping station in Rive d’Arcano requires urgent repairs by water operator CAFC.
The work is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m., with full water outages in parts of Moruzzo, Fagagna and Rive d’Arcano.
Other areas in those municipalities, as well as parts of Pagnacco, Colloredo di Monte Albano and Martignacco, may have low pressure or temporary interruptions.
The pipe supplies Fagagna and nearby communities in the Friuli Collinare area, so the repair affects a wider network.
Residents and businesses are advised to store drinking water and limit non-essential use while the work is under way.
After supply returns, CAFC recommends running taps for a few minutes because the water may be temporarily cloudy.
The work was planned for Tuesday, October 20, but could be postponed to Thursday, October 22 if heavy weather makes it unsafe.
