In order to carry out the replacement works of a section of the supply pipe that ensures the water supply of the localities of Hârșova and Ciobanu in Constanța County
it is necessary to stop the supply of drinking water for 19 hours
Given the high degree of wear and tear of the segment being replaced
there is a major risk that during the summer season
when water consumption and pumped flows increase
and the consumers served will be left without drinking water for an indefinite period
consumers in the localities of Hârșova and Ciobanu will be affected by the lack of water
We recommend that users ensure a minimum water reserve for consumption and household use
temporary changes in the appearance of the water (turbidity
caused by emptying and refilling the pipes
we recommend using the water only for domestic purposes
RAJA SA apologizes for the inconvenience caused and assures subscribers that the intervention teams will do everything possible to complete the work in a timely manner
