Italy Island Capri Lifts Tourist Ban after Water Shortage Resolved the ban that forced many ferries to return to ports

Capri is famed for its white villas, cove-studded coastline and upscale hotels.

The Italian island of Capri lifted a ban on tourists Saturday 22 June after problems with the water supply to the holiday hotspot were resolved.

The ban was announced early Saturday, forcing several morning ferries on their way to the island from Naples and Sorrento in southern Italy to return to port. In justifying the ban, Falco warned of "a real emergency" and said that while there was still water on most of the island on Friday, local tanks early Saturday were "running out".

"The emergency would be worsened by the arrival of the thousands of tourists who arrive on Capri daily," he said.

Locals, not targeted by the ban, were permitted to collect up to 25 litres (6.6 gallons) of drinking water per household from a supply tanker. Capri, in the Bay of Naples, is famed for its white villas, cove-studded coastline and upscale hotels. It has around 13,000 permanent residents but attracts huge numbers of day-trippers in summer months.
