The Government of Romania approved the Agreement with the Republic of Moldova on the regulation of the building of water pipelines under the Prut for supplying drinking water from Iasi County to the districts of Nisporeni, Ungheni, Glodeni and Fălești. The proposal was approved on January 5 at the suggestion of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests, IPN reports, quoting a press release.
Minister Barna Tanczos said the agreement represents the legal basis for building water supply systems across the border. When the agreement takes effect, the location of the water pipeline between Romania’s Ungheni and Moldova’s Ungheni will be decided by the intergovernmental Hydrotechnical Commission.
Investments will be made from the budget of SC “Apavital” SA. At the first stage, there will be built a water pipeline under the Prut, between Măcărești (Romania) - Măcărești (Republic of Moldova), which is intended for citizens from 13 localities of the districts of Ungheni and Nisporeni, which have a population of about 30,000. The technical and financing project is in place.
At least four towns in the Republic of Moldova - Glodeni, Nisporeni, Ungheni and Fălești – and about 100 communes with a population of about 250,000 people could be supplied with drinking water during the next few years.
