Water Source
Verona’s water comes primarily from springs in the Lessinia Mountains, where groundwater is naturally filtered through limestone, supplemented by the Adige River. Treatment includes ozonation, filtration, and chlorination.
Contaminants & Concerns
No major safety alerts. The Lessinia mountain springs provide naturally clean water. High mineral content is the main characteristic, producing a hard water that causes limescale but poses no health risk.
