Description

Rehabilitation of the Chisinau water supply and wastewater collection and treatment facilities

Objectifs

The project will support a priority investment programme to rehabilitate the water supply and sewage collection systems and to modernise the wastewater treatment in the capital of Moldova. The investments are predominantly aimed at reducing water leakage and energy consumption, and improving water and wastewater services for the population of Chisinau. Energy efficiency is also high on the agenda, by replacing very old equipment like water pumps. The project's economic interest is thus directly linked to improving the quality of the environment and reducing public health risks via the adequate supply of drinking water and collection,and the treatment and disposal of wastewater.
