An episode of water contamination has raised concerns in Calcinato, where the Chiese river has shown alarming signs of pollution. Numerous residents have noticed an unusual discharge near the Santa Maria bridge, which has turned the water brown and created patches of foam on the surface. The alert was triggered thanks to the collaboration between citizens and the Calcinato Citizens Committee, which promptly informed the relevant authorities, including the Local Police and ARPA.
Initial investigations suggest that the source of the contamination may be located upstream of the river. Images sent to the committee clearly highlight the critical state of the water, which has already raised concerns in the community in the past. A patrol has been mobilized to trace the origin of the discharge, and by the afternoon, information was communicated to the appropriate agencies to conduct thorough investigations into the matter. The situation raises questions about possible illegal discharges and the environmental impact of the phenomenon.
