26.3% of Ungheni's water is lost in transit — even as pipe failures drop: the 2025 report

The 2025 management report of Ungheni's water utility shows two trends moving in opposite directions. Unplanned failures on the distribution network fell from 270 to 256, and the average duration of an interruption dropped from 7.16 to 5.68 hours — nearly an hour and a half less. Dispatch calls reporting water outages collapsed: 263, down from 2,258 the previous year. At the same time, water losses rose from 21.2% to 26.3% of the volume abstracted. The utility abstracted 72,500 more cubic meters, sold 27,000 fewer, and the difference — roughly 100,000 cubic meters — was lost in transit. The operator attributes the increase in losses to the ongoing European-funded works at the treatment plant and the mains along Oranjeriei Street.
