The possible use of drinking water for prohibited purposes, although not recommended, can only take place
from 9 pm to 6 am

The ordinance signed by Mayor Tommasi is also an invitation to adopt behaviors and habits useful for reducing waste, making each citizen responsible for the importance of individual actions to try to stem the problem.
