Maurizio Di Trapani, Flavia Marino

Within the water sector, AMAP S.p.A. is one of the oldest companies in Italy, as we have been managing the Water System in the city of Palermo (which is the capital of Sicily) for over one hundred years. The water distributed by AMAP S.p.A comes from the following sources, spread around the Province of Palermo: four water reservoirs (Scanzano, Piana degli Albanesi, Poma, Rosamarina), containing altogether 150 millions cubic metres of water; four spring groups (Scillato, Presidiana, Gabriele, Risalaimi); four river-diverted waters (Imera, Eleuterio, Oreto-Santa Caterina, Jato-Madonna del Ponte); twenty nine wells.
