3800 residents of Filipeni and Romanovca villages, Leova Rayon, will be provided with drinking water until early 2017. The Minister of Regional Development and Construction, Vasile Bitca, and His Excellency, Artur Michalski, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Poland to the Republic of Moldova made today a documentation visit to see how project works are carried out.
“Construction of the Main Aqueduct Leova-Filipeni-Romanovca” is a regional development project that aims to construct about 9 km of water supply network, water reservoirs in Filipeni and Romanovca localities and an access road to these reservoirs. The objective is to provide with drinking water the citizens from the localities concerned and to improve the quality of the water consumed. The total value of the project is about 6 million MDL. The project is funded from two sources: the National Regional Development Fund and the Polish Embassy. Further, with the support of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) the main pipeline Leova – Iargara will be constructed and we will be able to connect the final consumer to drinking water. Thus, I express my gratitude to the foreign partners that invest in the regions of our country to improve the standards of living of our citizens and that are confident that the money will be used”, Vasile Bitca, the Minister of Regional Development and Construction, said.
In his turn, His Excellency, Artur Michalski, said that in 2010 Moldova and Poland signed a Memorandum of Regional Development Cooperation and since that time several local development projects were successfully implemented. Also, the Ambassador pointed out that the Polish party participates in the project for construction of the aqueduct Filipeni-Romanovca with a financial support worth about 1.8 million MDL offered as a grant for the construction of water reservoirs and the infrastructure related to them, including roads of access to the reservoirs.
We note that the project was initiated in 2014, the construction works of the main pipeline networks, reservoirs in localities were performed so far, and in the future land use planning works are to be performed.
