Bricherasio Allocates €75,000 ⁢for Hydrogeological Improvements

BRICHERASIO, Italy (AP) ⁣— The municipality of Bricherasio has earmarked €75,000 to address hydrogeological issues at ⁤three key locations: Cesani Granero,⁤ Vecchia di San Giovanni, and Gioetta. The funding, approved ‍during ⁤the city council meeting on March 27, is part of the 2025-2027⁤ financial forecast budget.

Addressing recurring Problems

Mayor ⁣Simone Ballari ⁢stated the projects are financed through ordinary maintenance plans assigned by⁣ the Mountain Union of the Pinerolese. Ballari said the work aims⁢ to resolve “problems that frequently enough come back.”

Project Details

The planned improvements target specific⁣ vulnerabilities at each location:

• Cesani Granero: Following a landslide⁤ several years ago on the hilly road, a small retaining wall will be constructed to protect the ⁤roadway.
• Vecchia Strada di San Giovanni (Roncaglia): The rainwater drainage system will be ⁣enhanced with additional grids to improve water flow, which currently struggles to drain effectively.
• Gioietta (Rio Callogna): The riverbed of the Rio Callogna will ⁤be cleaned, and a small embankment will be ⁤built on the right bank to mitigate flooding risks.

Looking Ahead

the municipality anticipates completing these ⁢hydrogeological improvements by ⁣the end of the⁢ year, enhancing the safety and stability of these ⁤critical areas within Bricherasio.
