Chisinau, 11 September /MOLDPRES/ - Another 800 citizens from the Danceni village, central Ialoveni district, now benefit from access to the centralized sewerage network, after over 5.5 km of sewerage network, as well as three stations for pumping residual waters have been constructed in the settlement. The works were carried out through a project included in the European Village National Programme, edition I.     

The overall investment amounts to over 10 million lei, of which about 8.5 million was allocated by Moldova’s government, through the National Fund for Regional and Local Development and over 1.4 million lei comes from a grant of Romania’s government. Also, the settlement contributed 146,000 lei.
