Why the Aqueduct

After 100 years, we continue to believe in this great vision. Acquedotto Pugliese was born from a dream: to bring water into the homes of the Apulian’s. This idea seemed unattainable at first, but thanks to the work of many men and women, it has become the largest aqueduct in Europe.

A great work
AQP is one of the largest integrated water service companies in Italy and provides its services throughout the entire Apulian territory, from Gargano to Santa Maria di Leuca, and in some communities of Campania, also ensuring the supply of water in sub-distribution to Acquedotto Lucano S.p.A., throughout Basilicata.

Our mission
We ensure the water supply of the managed territories through a system of aqueducts, plants, and hydraulic engineering works. In addition, we guarantee the protection of the environment through our purification, urban wastewater refinement and composting plants.

Our values
Respect for and protection of the territory, energy efficiency and environmental protection, constant dialogue with communities and territories, customer satisfaction and attention to the enhancement of employees are part of the corporate identity and constitute the values at the basis of Acquedotto Pugliese's strategies.

Our vision
The sustainable management of a common good" such as water, the design and implementation of business activities to improve performance and reduce environmental impact have always been part of our vision.

Head office
The headquarters of Acquedotto Pugliese is in Bari, in via Cognetti n.36, in one of the oldest buildings in the city. Designed by Cesare Vittorio Brunetti and furnished by Duilio Cambellotti at the beginning of the 20th century, the palace is also known as "the secular cathedral" of water, the place where water is depicted in every detail, in every decoration.
