Italy will guarantee 50 litres of
free water per day for each member of the most disadvantaged
families in the country, Environment Minister Gian Luca Galletti
said on Thursday, outlining the measure in a government decree.
Galletti said at a conference in Rome that the decree
established that the minimum quantity of water necessary to
satisfy essential needs is 50 litres per inhabitant per day.
He said it would be up to the electricity, gas and water
authority to ensure that families recognised as economically
disadvantaged received this "water bonus", and that those
included in the category could not have their water supply cut
off.
