A contribution of more that EUR160 million has been approved by the Commission from the Cohesion Fund to build a larger and better sewer network in Iasi County.
Elisa Ferreira, Cohesion and Reforms Commissioner ( pictured), stated that “This major project will improve the access to water and sanitation in Iasi County. This is an example of how Cohesion Policy can improve the lives of people on the ground. Clean drinking water, adequate collection and treatment wastewater will improve the health of the population and make it more enjoyable. This will lead to a better quality of life for the residents.
The main pipes will be laid for 256km and the distribution network for water supply will be built for 312 km. It will also construct 23 water treatment facilities, 43 water storage tank and 50 pumping stations. 43 of these will be on the network while seven will be within treatment facilities.
