Tons of waste water daily get into the Răut River and onto the public roads in Bălţi town, as 120 households are not connected to the sewage system.

The owners say they reported the issue to the authorities repeatedly, but all they got was fines from the environment inspectors.

The town administration is to establish the amount of money necessary to build the sewage system and a firm to perform the works.

But, until then, the people allowing their waste water run to streets face fine of $175.
