Water tariff in Ungheni stays at 38.25 lei/m³: the operator dropped a 4.52-lei increase

On 26 June, the Ungheni Municipal Council adopted an official position backing the maintenance of current tariffs for water, sewerage and wastewater treatment charged by "Apă-Canal Ungheni" SRL — 38.25 lei per cubic metre. The operator, wholly owned by the municipality, had first filed calculations with ANRE for a 4.52-lei/m³ increase (almost 12%), then opted to keep the price. The decision does not freeze the tariffs on its own, however: the price of water in Ungheni is approved by ANRE, and the councillors' position will be forwarded to the agency.

Ungheni's water is being modernised for tens of millions, yet it keeps breaking: 270 failures in a year on half-century-old pipes

Two outages in two days, on different streets, and the operator itself admits in the notice that „failures on the distribution network cannot be anticipated”. The explanation is in the figures: Ungheni municipality has about 139 kilometres of water pipes, more than 80% of them cast iron and steel aged 45–60 years, and in 2024 there were nearly 270 unplanned failures — around five a week. The big money invested in „Ungheni's water” (a project of about 32 million lei, plus European funds) went, however, to the source and to transport — the treatment plant, the trunk main, monitoring — not to replacing the pipes under the streets. That is why the water is both being modernised and constantly cut off.

Apă-Canal Ungheni replaces pumps and 350 metres of pipe at the station that treats water from the Prut

At the station that cleans Prut water before it reaches the taps of Ungheni, the local utility Apă-Canal Ungheni has already replaced more than 350 metres of pipe and 25 valves and installed the first of four new high-capacity pumps. The works are the station component of a regional project worth around 32 million lei, financed from the National Fund for Regional and Local Development through ADR Centru, with a contribution from the Ungheni District Council. The operator warns there will be further temporary water shut-offs before completion.
