The residents of 12 localities in Prahova county and one locality in Dambovita county will receive drinking water from the State Reserves, following a Tuesday decision of the National Committee for Emergency Situations (CNSU), which approved the provision of urgent humanitarian aid for the communities affected by the lack of drinking water.
"The decision was issued in the context of the situation caused by the falling water level in the Paltinu reservoir, resulting from scheduled hydrotechnical works at the dam, combined with increased turbidity and the volume of alluvium generated by hydrological phenomena associated with the Code Orange, elements which affected the quality of raw water and required the interruption of drinking water supply in 12 localities in Prahova county and one in Dambovita county, affecting the living conditions of the population," the Press Office of the the Inspectorate General for Emergency Situations (IGSU) informed.
The transport of water will be carried out by the National Agency for State Reserves and Special Problems, with the support of the IGSU, while the distribution to the population will be handled by local public authorities, with the support of emergency structures in the two counties.
The measures aim to ensure continued support for the affected population and to manage the situation efficiently until the safe restoration of drinking water supply.
"From 30 November, following the CNSU Decision no. 32, the distribution of the first quantities of drinking water to the affected localities began and the emergency inspectorates have mobilised specialised vehicles to support healthcare units and communities confronted with the water shortage," the quoted source informed.
