Vadul lui Voda resorts not to work this summer after being flooded

The Nistru's water is retreating in the resort area of Vadul lui Voda, as the consequences of the late-July floods emerge. Resorts owners say the summer season this year ended as the calamities came, Info-Prim Neo reports. Elena Balaniuc, an owner of a resort in Vadul lui Voda, says she has been working for the fourth day in a row taking the mud from the flooded maisonettes. The owner of another resort, who has already cleaned up his property, hopes he will recuperate his losses, but finds that “nobody is going to come here this year because of the unbearable smell.” According to general mayor Dorin Chirtoaca, who visited the area on Friday, the expenses to revamp the area reach millions of lei. A part of the money will be allocated from the municipal budget, for running expenditures. “We'll try to diminish the expenses for other areas and we'll focus more in here,” the mayor said. Yet he states “one should think over the standards of building entities within the resort area in the future, because the highest pillars were not enough to prevent the floods”. Some 90 employees of the Green Spaces Municipal Enterprise have been working to clean the flooded area for several days. The late-June floods hit the business of some 80 companies in the resort area of Vadul lui Voda. The water rose up to two meters in some places.
