A fault was reported at the electrical cabin that supplies power to the pumps of the water plant on via Mugnano-Melito in Mugnano, Italy. The notice linked the fault to a water shortfall in rione Zi' Peppe, via Colombo and other streets in the area. Technicians were reported to be on site. Early indications were that the problem might be cleared within about an hour. The source does not confirm the cause, the extent of the electrical fault, or that supply was restored.

Not reported.

  1. A fault in a small electrical cabin can interrupt essential pumping even when the water plant itself is not reported to have failed.
  2. Notices about power to critical pumps should separate what is known from an expected restoration time.
  3. Operators should confirm that pumping power is back before treating a short disruption as closed.
