50 localities in Ungheni district have water, only 7 have sewerage too — what the 598-million programme brings

The government has approved a national water and sanitation programme for 2026–2030, with an estimated cost of around 598 million lei and European-style targets: safe water for at least 95% of the population and sewerage for 65%. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows exactly where Ungheni district stands: 816 kilometres of water network and only 119 of sewerage, and out of 50 localities with a water supply, only 7 also have a sewerage network.

Apă-Canal Ungheni responds to the water-tariff article: five clarifications, no figure disproved

SRL „Apă-Canal Ungheni” has published five clarifications on our article about the 40.01 lei/m³ tariff, in force since 14 July. Checked against the documents, they disprove no figure: two repeat figures the article had already published, one recalculates the electricity decrease on a different basis — 19.1% instead of 19.4%, the same conclusion — and the response also brings new data, which we publish: the structure of the roughly 140 employees, the history of the electricity price and the waste-water repumping stations. The main findings remain without comment. And three days after the tariff took effect, the operator's tariff page and the ANRE registry were still displaying the old price.

40.01 lei per cubic metre: the new water tariff applies from today. And electricity — the explanation given in public — has fallen by 19%

The new water tariff in the town of Ungheni took effect today, 14 July, when the regulator's decision was published in the Official Gazette. A family using 5 cubic metres a month will pay roughly 106 lei more per year. The explanation given in public — the cost of electricity to pump water from the Prut — does not hold: in the regulator's own figures, electricity fell by 19.4% and accounts for just 9% of the cost. More than three quarters of the tariff you pay is wages. The decision can be challenged for 30 days.
