The future of the water service in Cusano Mutri is back before local politics. On 15 October 2026, the minority group "Nuova Cusano" presented an urgent motion asking the Municipal Council to discuss the management of the Integrated Water Service and the protection of local springs.
According to NTR24, the motion followed the Ente Idrico Campano's rejection of the municipality's request to retain autonomous management of the service. The reported consequence is the planned convergence of municipal water-service management into Sannio Acque S.r.l.
The opposition is now asking for an urgent and united discussion, calling on the administration to report on actions already taken, to assess whether autonomous management can still be retained, to obtain an urgent legal opinion, and to evaluate possible appeals or precautionary measures.
What is at stake
At the center of the debate are two linked questions: who will manage Cusano Mutri's water service in the future, and how local springs will be protected under any new arrangement.
The full text of the Ente Idrico Campano decision and its legal reasoning has not been published in the material reviewed for this article. The effective date, procedure and operational timetable for any transfer to Sannio Acque S.r.l. also remain unverified, as does the date and outcome of the requested council meeting.
No official municipal statement confirming or contesting the opposition's account was available in the acquired documents.
What residents can check now
While the political and legal path remains open, the Municipality of Cusano Mutri maintains an official water-information area covering notices, services, administrative offices and documents.
That page includes practical references for residents, including a 2026 notice on submitting water-meter self-readings and an active service for paying the water fee. It also identifies a municipal office for integrated water-cycle management.
For readers in Cusano Mutri, the official municipal water page is therefore the most direct source for current bills, deadlines, self-reading instructions and office contacts while the broader management question is discussed.
What to watch next
Three points will determine how this story develops:
- Whether the urgent council discussion requested by "Nuova Cusano" is scheduled, and what the administration reports about steps taken so far.
- Whether the municipality seeks an independent legal opinion and pursues an appeal or precautionary measure against the Ente Idrico Campano decision.
- Whether a timetable, procedure and operating terms for any transfer to Sannio Acque S.r.l. are published by the competent authorities.
Until those documents and dates are public, the condition, number and precise location of the springs cited in the political debate also remain unverified in the available sources.
