Lake Delia water is class V for the third summer running — the municipal beach stays open

After the fish die-off in early August, Ungheni City Hall requested a water sample from Lake Delia. The result, released by the Public Health Centre on August 11: water unfit for bathing — class V (the lowest) by chemical parameters. It is the third year in a row with class V results (2024, 2025, 2026), and the area has no sanitary authorization and is not on the monitoring calendar. The municipal beach stays open, with lifeguards. What this means for anyone who swims there — and where you can swim safely.

Delia, the lake with an open beach and untested water: dead fish in early August

In early August, a fish die-off occurred in Ungheni's Lake Delia. On the shore of the same lake, the municipal beach has been open since 21 June, with lifeguards — even though the Public Health Centre says the area has no sanitary permit, that in 2026 not a single water sample was taken and that swimming ought to be banned. What the documents say, what the institutions say, and where you can still swim.

39% of the first stage of Ungheni's Lake Delia promenade comes from Cluj

The Cluj-Napoca Local Council voted on 20 July to give 593,000 Romanian lei (RON) for the development of the promenade on Lake Delia in Ungheni. The financing agreement, annexed to the decision of the Ungheni Municipal Council, shows that the first stage costs €288,387.80 — about 5.8 million Moldovan lei (MDL) — and that the Cluj share amounts to €113,247.88, that is 39.3% of the total. The remaining 60.7% is paid by Ungheni. The contract was awarded back in May to SRL Balt-Cons of Pîrlița, for 5,759,683.36 Moldovan lei including VAT, and the request to Cluj had gone out as early as December.

Floods move the Sânziene Unghenene festival off Delia island into the city centre, on 5 July

“Sânziene Unghenene”, the flagship festival of the Ungheni summer, cannot return this year to the island on Lake Delia, where it was held in 2025. The Palace of Culture cites the aftermath of the May floods — and the footbridge to the island is still not ready. The 2026 edition comes down on 5 July into the heart of the city, to Scuarul Înfrățirii and Independence Square, with a procession, the Sânziene Hora, folk-costume workshops and the “Sânziana” contest.

Ungheni opens its Prut and Delia beaches on Sunday — with lifeguards, a rarity in a country where 18 people have drowned in 2026

Mayor Vitalie Vrabie has signed the order opening the 2026 summer season at the municipal beaches on the Prut River and Lake Delia from 21 June, with lifeguards on duty all summer. In a country where almost all drownings happen at unsupervised spots — 18 people have died that way since the start of 2026 — a beach with a lifeguard post is not a formality but a safety measure.
