PUMP THE PIAZZA PIO X
It was reactivated''pump square Pope Pius X, in the heart of Caorle. And''the only remaining ancient pump, even if modified and restored several times, a dozen pumps that were in different squares of the city and that for over a century have taken the fresh water necessary for feeding and personal care, from the groundwater of the lagoon. The installation of pumps, which occurred several times in Caorle, represented a considerable saving of time and effort to the ancient village inhabited until the early 1800s were forced to climb into the boat Livenza, with some demijohn below supply of water for drinking more or less. Until a few decades in Piazza Pio X pumps were two. With the activation of small town water supply, one was permanently eliminated and the other at the base of the old yard, holding the flag remained, although the gradual drying up of groundwater decreed his enforced inactivity. After being in workshop for the editing, the pump will return to work in a few days. No more fish in the ground water but that the water supply which has been connected and then once connected to the contactor, the water will resume flowing. And most likely, as before, we review the groups of children play around; with one recommendation: water is a precious commodity, it would be unwise to waste.
