The European Commission said on Friday it is providing 17 million euro ($19.6 million) to Romania to improve access to drinking water.
The financial support will be directed to four major projects in Constanta, Ialomita, Gorj, Ilfov and Suceava counties, the European Commission said in a press release.
"Ensuring access to quality drinking water is a concrete example of European solidarity, which will bring benefits to a large number of Romanians. With the new investments in cohesion policy, citizens from Romania and across Europe will have access to clean water, the result being protecting both their health and the environment," Corina Cretu, European Commissioner for regional policy, said.
The Commission will invest 2.5 million euro in Constanta and Ialomita counties, for the completion of the rehabilitation and extension of the water management and distribution infrastructure in 19 communes. Some 24,000 inhabitants will benefit from the improvement works.
A further 7 million euro will finance the completion of works from the water distribution and collection network in the urban agglomerations of Gorj county. Some 2.8 million euro will be used to complete the renovation and extension of the water distribution and sewerage network in eight urban areas located in Ilfov county, near the capital Bucharest.
In the eastern Suceava county, the Commission will invest 5 million euro in the extension of the water management and treatment system, benefiting 7,766 people.
