Following a snap survey on Tuesday, Arpae reported there were 19 points on the Emilia Romagna coast where the water quality does not comply with bathing parameters.
The points, explains a note from the region, are affected “more than others by the effects of the flood that involved several watercourses flowing into the sea”, in particular in the Ravenna, Cesena and Ferarra areas.
In this regard, “non-bathing ordinances will be issued by the mayors until the water levels fall below the established thresholds”, the report said.
Analyses will be repeated, starting Wednesday, until the parameters are found to be in compliance, Arpae said.
