A dedicated section on the Group's website: major waterworks, water network efficiency and circular economy

Is now online on Acea's website a special NRRP section dedicated to water infrastructure and major construction sites to be built by the Group in the coming months using funds from the Recovery and Resilience Plan. Acea Ato 2 has obtained funding from the NRRP of about 227 million euros, over the period 2021-2026, for the implementation of several strategic interventions involving adduction and distribution networks, resource recovery (water losses) and sewerage and purification services. The interventions to be carried out also include several modernisation works falling under the Peschiera aqueduct system.

The new dedicated web page will provide all the information on Acea's projects, a kind of compass to orient oneself among the various planned interventions and to understand how the funding obtained through the PNRR is being deployed. The section on Acea Ato 2 projects is divided into three areas:

• Aqueducts and major works, these are four projects aimed at securing and modernizing the Peschiera aqueduct system and the water supply of Roma Capitale and the metropolitan area (New Marcio Aqueduct 1st lot; Addutrice Ottavia-Trionfale; Raddoppio VIII siifone - Casa Valeria section exit Ripoli Tunnel; Pipeline Monte Castellone-Colle Sant'Angelo-Valmontone).
  
• Digitization and efficiency of water distribution networks, the project aims to reduce losses in water distribution networks by digitizing and monitoring networks.
  
• Purification, sewerage and sewage sludge management, these projects are aimed at making wastewater gathering and purification increasingly effective and sustainable by promoting the circular economy, including through the adoption of technological innovation (upgrading of the Ponte Lucano integrated sewage treatment plant in Tivoli; sewer collector afferent to the Valle Giordano purification plant; extension of the Crescenza pipeline - Tomba di Nerone sewer system; adaptation of the Ciciliano purification plant; reclamation of the collector and network afferent to the Ciciliano purification plant; connection of the Borgonuovo purification plant to East Rome).
