A significant failure on the Sarno–Cercola supply pipeline caused water shortages and reduced pressure in ten municipalities in the Nola area on 19 September 2026.
The failure was identified near the Feudo Grande plant in Marigliano. According to Metropolis Web and water operator GORI, the break affected the Sarno–Cercola adduttrice, the supply pipeline serving the area, requiring interruption of water flow while repairs were carried out.
Municipalities affected
The municipalities named in the reports are:
- Brusciano
- Castello di Cisterna
- Mariglianella
- Marigliano
- Nola
- Palma Campania
- Pomigliano d'Arco
- San Vitaliano
- Saviano
- Scisciano
The available reports confirm shortages and pressure reductions across these ten municipalities.
Repair work and replacement services
GORI reported that its technicians were working on repairs to the damaged pipeline.
The operator also reported that replacement water services had been prepared using water tankers and temporary water-fountain stations.
What remains unclear
The available reports do not provide a confirmed restoration time for the incident. The GORI notice describes the break as occurring during the early morning, without giving an exact time.
The sources also do not confirm whether all ten municipalities experienced the same severity or duration of disruption, and no source reviewed confirms that service had been fully restored at the time of publication.
