A project to finance the rehabilitation of the water supply and sewerage system was launched in southern Moldova. The issue was discussed by Prime Minister Iurie Leanca and EBRD Director for Environmental Infrastructure Jean-Patrick Marquet, IPN reports, quoting the Government’s press service.
The project envisions the rehabilitation of the Leova–Cimislia–Basarabeasca aqueduct. The financial assistance of the EBRD will cover the feasibility study for building the aqueduct and the extension of the water supply in six districts in southern Moldova. The Premier expressed his conviction that the new cooperation project will essentially contribute to modernizing the infrastructure and developing the southern part of the country.
Similar projects were earlier initiated by the Government of Moldova in partnership with the EBRD. A €30 million project to improve the water supply in northern Moldova is under implementation. The EBRD contributed €10 million to it. Another project under implementation is the construction of the Chisinau–Straseni–Calarasi aqueduct with a budget of about €7 million. Approximately 20 villages will be gradually connected to this aqueduct.
