There were held public hearings regarding the local development plan for water supply and sanitation services. Currently, 15 municipalities in the Rascani rayon, beneficiaries of the pilot project ‘Improvement of water supply and sanitation services in Rascani rayon’ update these local plans, having the desire to create and reinforce a common service.
The Mayor of Costesti, Ivan Plesca, requested consultations with citizens so that they expose themselves on the objectives and actions required from the local authorities, in order to ensure both a dynamic development of drinking water supply to villages, that are part of Costesti City Hall and wastewater treatment, thus improving living conditions for residents and creating new preconditions for economic growth and the standard of living in the community.
