€ With a thousand bottles of water do you Veritas of mineral

Water Veritas costs one euro per cubic meter, equal to a thousand bottles of mineral that would cost no less than 400 €. A "privilege" to 650 000 citizens Venetians who, in addition to paying one of the lowest tariffs in Italy, drinking water from the tap in the house of the same sources used by a famous brand of mineral water. Everything - looks Ezio Da Villa at least "until 2018, thanks to public management." "Affordable and high quality - stresses the Provincial Councillor for Environment, Ezio Da Villa who is also president of the Auto Laguna, the body that manages the basin water cycle - Could not be guaranteed if we had not decided a few days ago to keep the public management of water through a company like Veritas, a company controlled by municipalities and in which sound merged Vesta, Asm, Asp and Spim. " Last week, in fact, with the unanimous agreement of 20 municipalities in the province of Venice and Treviso 5 (where are located the springs from which it draws the water) was approved the decision to maintain in-house, that is, under the total public control - at least until 2018, after which it can be renewed - the "integrated water service 'which includes over management of the aqueduct that serves a catchment area of \u200b\u200b650 000 inhabitants, including sewerage and sewage treatment plants that deal with "black and white waters" before pouring the wastewater in the lagoon of Venice. "What we have got a few days ago, all together and no distinction is an important and historic decision - said the Provincial Councillor for Environment, Ezio Da Villa -. Only a careful public management can ensure the territory and citizens, the protection of water resources, fairness and transparency of tariffs and service efficiency. " "In many municipalities in other Italian provinces - adding - where the water supply, sewerage and sanitation have been entrusted to individuals, we found a fare increase and an unjustified gap between the citizen and business service delivery. " Affordable and quality services, in fact, are the two cornerstones that have made the decision 25 municipalities governed by the center so that by the center that are part of the axis of Laguna, the expectation on the 'house', rather than privatization - to make a "business" given to private companies with a tender - as they have, however, very common in Italy (especially in Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio) and in European cities like Paris, only to regret it. Drinking water supplied by Veritas, better known as "the water of the Mayor," the note promotion campaign, is 'good' quality - How to certify the continuing national controls - and is distributed by a network of over 3,600 km of pipe. The taps of the basin served by Veritas goes especially well water, drawn from sixty wells at depths ranging from 60 cha and more recently, due to overfishing in recent years also by private individuals, 300 meters. Network is also entered in a percentage of surface water, drinking water plant of Cavanella (Chioggia), which treats the water of the Adige, and Ca Solaro (Mestre) which draws water from the Sile, the main Italian river resurgence. "In plants Veritas - From Villa explains - is operating a system of active carbon filters can to improve the taste and characteristics of the water drinkable, even make it very similar to that of groundwater. " Veritas makes every year about 10,000 laboratory tests and analyzes more than 200,000 parameters.
