Two fountains to be reconstructed in Chisinau

The fountain situated in the square of the Metropolitan Cathedral and the one located in front of the National Opera Theater “Maria Biesu” will be reconstructed this year. Roman Sofroni, head of the Chisinau Capital Constructions Division, has told Info-Prim Neo that the metal pieces of the fountain from near the National Opera House are every winter disassembled because they become frozen. This procedure has been repeated for almost 10 years. In order to prevent the networks and water pumps from freezing, the municipality started works to relocate the networks outside the fountain, to a special room. The reconstruction works will start after the designing works are completed. The costs haven’t been determined yet. Within the project, there will be also laid out the adjoining area. The electrical system of the fountain located in the square of the Metropolitan Cathedral will be modernized. The old meter will be replaced and the fountain will work on a permanent basis.
