"The prefecture of Bergamo, in consultation with the Prefectures of Cremona and Lodi, has decided to convene local administrators to make a detailed statement about the potential pollution dimetridazole, a chemical additive used in the production of drugs for livestock. The town of Vail, represented by the directors and Di De Berardinis Maio, was able to gather a variety of useful information and disseminate to all citizens.
Already in 2005, some wells were polluted by dimetridazole been identified in common in the north of the province of Cremona, from the northern Capralba Ripalta Cremasca close to placing the river Serio nell'Adda.
Since the province of Cremona and the Province of Bergamo are from a hydrographical point of view a single province, Orobie from the Po, you need to understand what is happening north of our territory and requires close cooperation between the two provinces.
The situation is absolutely alarming, as they are only subject to potential private wells which fish at depths less than 15 meters. However, it seems to advise against the use of potable water from these wells, where no analysis carried out on time.
It therefore seems reasonable to inform the public of this possibility, urging her to use the water from private wells for irrigation only, intended for home use only the water resources of the municipal waterworks, as in the case of Vail, draw at a depth ranging from 80 to 120 meters. "
