Waste contracts in Ungheni: those who don't sign still pay a special tax, not a fine

Ungheni city hall is calling on residents to sign waste-collection contracts with AVE-Ungheni SRL, invoking Law no. 178 and warning that otherwise they “will be penalised”. The law — no. 178 of 3 July 2025, in force since 21 July 2026 — provides no penalty for not having a contract: article 25 paragraph (2) says that users without a contract must pay a special tax approved by the local authority. People in Ungheni already pay a local tax of 120 lei a year per person and the operator's tariff: 56 lei a month per household for houses, 18 lei per person in blocks of flats. According to the city hall's 30 July announcement, more than 25% of Ungheni residents had no contract.

Seven hours announced, a second day without water: Ungheni District Hospital on the list of those affected

A leak on a water main 500 millimetres in diameter at 8 Vasile Lupu Street was announced on Thursday for a seven-hour intervention, between 09:00 and 16:00. On Friday, the operator said the works were continuing, “as unforeseen technical complications arose during the intervention”, with a new deadline estimated at 17:00. The list of affected consumers on the second day also includes Ungheni District Hospital, which did not appear on the first one. In 2024, the operator reported 270 unplanned interruptions, 268 of which were resolved within the regulatory deadline.

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.

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.

How Cornești ran water and sewer pipes under the R1 highway: directional drilling, no trench

The Cornești town hall says it has completed the extension of the water and sewerage network on Ștefan cel Mare Street — work that included running the pipes under the R1 Chișinău–Ungheni national road, at kilometre 77+215, by drilling without opening a trench or closing the highway. The town's network was built through the “Satul European” programme, and centralised sewerage — which Cornești has — remains the rare part of Moldova's infrastructure.

Imported car with no original papers? Ungheni drivers no longer travel to Chișinău or Bălți to register it

Since late June, the Public Services Agency has simplified the registration of imported cars that lack original documents or have only a copy of the registration certificate. The step that forced owners to drive the car to one of three identification offices — in Chișinău, Bălți or Cahul — and wait up to three days has been dropped: technical identification is now done at any subdivision that registers vehicles, including in Ungheni.
