Frasso Telesino – A veritable crater has opened along the Frasso–Nansignano provincial road, compromising traffic and effectively isolating the small village. The association "A Tua Difesa," chaired by lawyer Massimo Viscusi, reported the incident, describing it in a statement as an "unworthy and humiliating" situation for residents.
The collapsed road forces residents of the village center to take a long and winding detour through the mountains to rejoin the road leading to Frasso Telesino. This daily inconvenience especially affects the elderly and families.
Adding to the traffic crisis is a far more serious emergency: water shortages. According to the association, Gesesa, the water utility, is no longer responding to residents' complaints. Several neighborhoods reportedly had water shortages for extended periods throughout the winter, including the Christmas holidays, in some cases even for the entire day.
"It's a despicable, shameful, humiliating situation, after a lifetime of sacrifice and hard work," says lawyer Viscusi, also referring to residents forced to obtain water from jerry cans to meet their daily needs.
The association's sights are set on the Municipality of Frasso Telesino, which includes the hamlet of Nansignano, and Gesesa, which they consider jointly responsible for the "unacceptable" conditions and clearly responsible for the failure to resolve problems that have been dragging on for months.
A complaint that demands immediate responses and concrete action, so that an already small and marginalized community is not denied even the right to essential services.
The water emergency gripping Campania, compromising daily life, economic development, and essential services, is destined to hit the heart of democratic institutions. On Wednesday, December 10th, starting at 11:00 a.m., the mayors of Irpinia and Sannio will leave their communities for a united and decisive demonstration: a static and...
Pratola Serra - Water supply outages have been impacting the community for months now. Taps run dry during crucial hours of the day, difficulties meeting basic needs, and a hardship that particularly impacts families with children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions, not to mention schools closed for only their second day.
Water emergency withoutat the end in Irpinia. In diversi comuni della provincia di Avellino, soprattutto nelle zone collinari e di montagna, l’acqua arriva col contagocce: poche ore di erogazione al giorno, a volte meno, e rubinetti a secco per il resto della giornata. A Monteforte Irpino, una residente esasperata ha deciso di rivolgersi direttamente al deputato di Alleanza Verdi-Sinistra Francesco Emilio b, inviando anche un video per mostrare la propria cucina invasa da stoviglie sporche: impossibile lavarle senza acqua corrente. “Ci tolgono l’acqua per giorni interi – denuncia la donna –. Con questo caldo non si può vivere così. Arriva per tre ore, se va bene, poi di nuovo il nulla. Stamattina è arrivata alle 6:20, ma poca, e alle 9:25 era già finita. Ora, forse, tornerà domani mattina. Nella zona alta, dove vivo io, il problema è ancora più grave”. Una gestione definita “inaccettabile” dagli stessi cittadini, che ricordano come le interruzioni idriche siano una piaga cronica, peggiorata però nell’estate 2025. Borrelli, insieme al co-portavoce provinciale di Europa Verde, Luigi Tuccia, ha annunciato un’interrogazione urgente ad Alto Calore Servizi S.p.A. e alla Regione Campania: “Non è accettabile che intere comunità restino senz’acqua per la maggior parte della giornata, in piena estate e con temperature elevate. I cittadini hanno diritto a un servizio minimo garantito e a una gestione trasparente delle risorse idriche”. L’episodio riaccende il dibattito sulla gestione dell’acqua in Irpinia e sulla necessità di un piano straordinario. Un problema che non riguarda solo i piccoli centri, ma l’immagine stessa di un territorio che, paradossalmente, sorge in una delle aree idricamente più ricche della Campania.

It's truly strange that there are no solutions to such a serious problem; the people who live there deserve more. The lack of water is unacceptable, and the City must do something immediately to help.
