Thanks to a new EU investment of €137 million, citizens in Maramures County will benefit from an improved water and wastewater infrastructure network. The investment from the Cohesion Fund was approved by the European Commission.
- 20 April 2023
The investment concerns the first phase of the project. The project will provide for 126.74 km of new water distribution network and rehabilitate 6.37 km. A total of 32 reservoirs will be built and 4 existing ones rehabilitated. One water treatment plant and three water catchments will be rehabilitated and 19 chlorination stations will be built and one rehabilitated.
Now, a total of 77 % of the population in Maramures County is connected to the water supply network, of which 63.1 % (in 2018) had access to water that met EU drinking water quality standards. The aim is to increase both the connection and compliance rate to 92% with the completion of both phases of the project.
