Brescia Municipalities Join Garda Uno for Lake Garda Water Management
There are 17 (out of 20) municipalities on the Brescia shore of Lake Garda that have decided to assign the integrated water cycle management of their territory to the Azienda Speciale Consorzio Garda Uno, in accordance with Law No. 36.
Comment by Guido Maruelli
“A very positive result,” states Guido Maruelli, president of Garda Uno, “where the municipalities have demonstrated acceptance of the recent regulations governing the integrated water cycle, reinforcing our initiatives.
We are now working to establish dedicated operational teams exclusively tasked with the operation of this important sector.”
New Initiatives and Strategies
However, the activities of Consorzio Garda Uno also look toward new initiatives and “key steps” that are currently being worked on.
Strategies that also involve the other side of the lake in an effort to create a unified management framework for the entire Garda basin.
We will have to deal — says President Maruelli — with the respective provinces and regions, but it seems that finally things are starting to move in the right direction, and I believe that even in this case, we will do our part.
We are firmly committed to this goal, both for the joint management of the Peschiera plant and, above all, because we believe that, in the collective interest, this is the most obvious and serious purpose.
Next Steps and Collaboration
We intend to address these issues starting from the strength derived from the conferment of these municipalities, and therefore we will not present ourselves at the table as individuals but with the strength of the numbers provided by our “member municipalities” through the management of their respective municipal water networks.
“The main goal of all our efforts,” concludes Guido Maruelli, “is focused, beyond the ongoing transformation of our “Azienda” into an SPA, which is still in progress, and similar efforts on the other side of the lake.”
Subsequently, there will be an alliance involving the exchange of shares, with technical and financial engineering, which in recent times has also become a shared asset.
In light of these various municipal utility transformations, finding the most suitable formula to ultimately achieve the most unified management capacity will not be an issue.
This,” concludes Guido Maruelli, “will be the work ahead in the imminent future.”
