MILAN - More heavy rain in Milan and the north.From around 3am this night, 35-40 mm of water fell in the city, 45-50 in Brianza and 60-70 in the north.Milan's civil protection councilor Marco Granelli reports this on his social networks.
The Seveso underwent a sudden rise and at 8.15 the pool was activated, the sixth time in 2024.The Lambro is still rising and in Milan it is at 2.50 and in Brugherio it is almost 3 meters.At 8.40am flooding began in via Rilke and Parco Lambro is also starting to flood.The communities in the Park have been evacuated, while in Ponte Lambro MM and Civil Protection have been monitoring the sewerage and river since 4.00 tonight, trying to reduce the flooding as much as possible and defend houses, shops and power stations. Unfortunately the Lambro is very high and will grow further and the sewer is collecting a lot of water from the intense rains.

ROOM:“FOR VASCA LAMBRO WE ARE TALKING WITH THE REGION”

The only solution that can allow the Lambro not to flood is a lamination tank that follows the lines of the intervention implemented on the Seveso.This was reiterated by the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala, on the sidelines of the conference organized at the Olympic Village to celebrate 50 years of Coima.“We are discussing it with the Lombardy Region”, specifies Sala, as it would be a work that “should also be done in this case outside the Milanese territory.It takes some time, but - he observes - it is the only solution".
The mayor's reasons are soon revealed, further confirmed by the morning flooding.“Why doesn't the Seveso almost overflow anymore?Because we have a rolling tank in Bresso and others are in preparation", recalls Sala, who adds:“Why does the Lambro flood instead?Because the rolling tank isn't there..."
