90,000 lei for a well, yet Petrești still has no water: villagers demand an inquiry

Since late June, residents of Petrești commune (Ungheni district) have complained of going days on end with no water at the tap, especially in the “hill area”, and on 5 July they launched a petition to the mayor's office and the Local Council: they want an inquiry, a public schedule of the cut-offs and, if wrongdoing is found, the dismissal of the official in charge of water distribution. Mayor Serghei Gorea had already replied publicly on 27 June that the problem is being taken seriously — the commune dug a new well, for which the Council allocated 90,000 lei — and points to the drought and the heatwave. Petrești, one of the district's largest villages by number of houses connected to the mains (1,052), depends on its own municipal enterprise, Servicom-Petrești, not on Apă-Canal Ungheni.

Water in Ungheni rises to 40.01 lei/m³: ANRE approved an increase, eleven days after the "maintenance" announced by the city hall

On Tuesday, 7 July, the ANRE board approved new tariffs for "Apă-Canal Ungheni" SRL: drinking water rises from 23.54 to 25.17 lei/m³, and sewerage for household consumers from 14.71 to 14.84 lei/m³ — 40.01 lei/m³ in total, 1.76 lei more (+4.6%). The increase comes eleven days after the Ungheni Municipal Council announced the tariff would stay at 38.25 lei and that the operator had "dropped" an increase. The ANRE document shows, however, that the operator's tariff file was still under review — the agency cut it, rather than rejecting it.

Not just „Eminescu”.
