In Italy, drinking water losses remain abysmal. Illegal connections, prices that are too low, obsolete networks.
The country is recording record losses despite abundant reserves of water. Residents of Frosinone, in Lazio, a central region of Italy, once again suffered a sharp drop in tap water pressure.

The increase in costs has not been reflected in tariffs, as the national regulator has not approved.
