#fish die-off

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.
