SA “Apă-Canal Chisinau” (ACC) said the companies that discharge wastewater in the public sewerage system will be checked round-the-clock. The supplier set the goal of reducing the discharged volumes that exceed the maximum allowable concentration. This leads to the pollution of water and the environment. As the temperatures are high and summer is close, the examination measures will be stepped up and will be taken both during working hours and at night, IPN reports.

ACC warns that if business entities discharge water with high pollutant concentration, they will be issued with prescriptions warning them about the necessity of not discharging water with high pollutant concentration in the public sewerage system. In accordance with the legal norms, the entrepreneurs will be given a period of at most ten days to remove the faults. If it is determined that the business entities didn’t comply after samples are taken again, these will be issued with notices of disconnection from the water supply and sewerage services.

Under the legislation, the business entities must have pre-treatment stations or must take the necessary measures in accordance with the law or they risk being disconnected from the water supply and sewerage system.
