The Project for water and sewerage systems in Chisinau has presented its final results

The Project „Chisinau Water Supply & Sewage Treatment: Feasibility Study”, which is near the ending date, presented its results, within the Final Workshop, on July 26, 2012.  

It was preceded by two other workshops, which showed the evolution of the project, in May 2011 and April 2012.

The general goal of the Feasibility Study was to prepare the Technical, Financial, Environmental & Social Due Diligence for JSC „Apa-Canal Chisinau” (ACC), to be appraised by the City, the Company and the EBRD for prospective loans and potential grant contributions.

The Project supported the Program of the Mayoralty for water supply and sewerage services in Chisinau; also aiming to develop a strategy for services provided by ACC; to improve activity and services; to elaborate a Feasibility Study for potential investors and prepare the Investment Program.  

The main achievements of the project include: the completion of the investment project for the period 2014 – 2018, the implementation of the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the training of ACC personnel, the assessment of the current state of water and sewerage networks and the definitization of the Investment Program. The surveys carried out in Chisinau Municipality showed that improving service quality is more important than tariffs for water.

The Investment Program will make possible the stabilization of sludge in the wastewater treatment plant, the diminution of its quantity, the use of sludge in agriculture, sustainable development; improving water quality; reducing energy consumption; reducing water loss; long-distance data control and efficient intervention in emergency situations.
