Ungheni doesn't have Moldova's most expensive water: at 40.01 lei, it pays under half of Glodeni

Dozens of Ungheni residents wrote, under the news of the price hike, that the town supposedly has the most expensive water in Moldova. The tariffs approved by ANRE show the opposite: at 40.01 lei/m³, only seven towns charge less, while at least nineteen — from Cantemir to Glodeni — charge more, some nearly double. The difference comes from the number of consumers and the water source: Ungheni draws it, treated, from the Prut, while towns like Rîșcani pump it cheaply from artesian wells. And the sense that we pay the most comes from something else — the tariff has just risen, eleven days after we were promised it would stay unchanged.

Ungheni District Youth Council collects books for a community library, through July 25

The young district councillors have launched a book-donation drive: anyone with volumes in good condition — for children, teenagers or adults — can offer them through a message on the council's Facebook page, until July 25. The books go to a community library that the announcement does not name. The gesture lands on a local nerve: the district's book stock has thinned by a quarter over two decades.

A €375,000 project with the nurses of Iași would bring the Ungheni District Hospital emergency equipment and a unit for medical waste

The Ungheni District Hospital announces that it is a partner in a cross-border project for responding to health crises — an outfit of emergency-care equipment and a unit for neutralising hazardous medical waste. The official document shows, however, that this is a provisional selection, with a European grant of at most €375,438.90 for the whole partnership: the contract has not yet been signed.

Ungheni's “Vasile Alecsandri” high school builds its first gym: 13.7 million lei for the first stage alone

The oldest high school in Ungheni district, whose roughly 620 students have had no indoor gym until now, now has a construction site. The state procurement registry shows a 13.72-million-lei contract for the building's structure, won by COLASS SA. The walls go up this year, the interior follows in 2027 — and the total cost will be higher, because the second stage is not yet budgeted.

Fire at the Costuleni dump: district town halls warn that burning vegetation carries fines of 10,000–15,000 lei

Costuleni Town Hall filmed a new fire at the village dump, a few days after it had asked people not to burn dry vegetation. On the same day, Cioropcani Town Hall issued its own warning. The fire does not come from the day's heat — it is cooler now — but from vegetation left dry after the heatwave and from fires left unattended, an act for which the law provides stinging fines.

The Ungheni centre screens for breast cancer free of charge for four districts — who it is for and how to reach an ultrasound or a mammogram

One of Moldova's regional centres for the early detection of breast cancer operates at the IMSP Ungheni Health Centre: it serves women from the Ungheni, Nisporeni, Călărași and Fălești districts, and the services — clinical examination, ultrasound and digital mammography — are free, covered through CNAM. We explain who has access, how to get there and what is done, depending on age.

It is the second time in six days that the same unit has ended up, on patrol, in a first-aid role.

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.
