Ministerul Mediului: Primăriile au la dispoziție 1,5 miliarde de lei în 2026 pentru proiecte de apă și canalizare

Local authorities in Romania can access 1.5 billion lei for water and sewage projects this year, with funding criteria focusing on project maturity and local contributions. The program aims to improve water services in communities lacking these facilities by 2026. A competitive selection process will evaluate applications based on specific criteria, including the existence of technical projects and construction permits. The funding covers up to 95% of eligible costs, requiring a minimum 5% local contribution. Prioritization will be given to communities facing infringement issues and those with growing populations, ensuring that projects effectively deliver services to residents.
