More than 107,000 people from 13 localities of Prahova county and one town in Dâmboviţa municipality did not have drinking water for a week, after the action of emptying the Paltinu dam to carry out unclogging works, combined with the torrential rains of two weeks ago, caused the turbidity of the water to rise to such an extent that it could no longer be treated.
The Minister of the Environment, Diana Buzoianu, announced on Wednesday, December 10, that the decision to dismiss the director of the Buzău-Ialomiţa Water Basin Administration (ABA) was sent, after the conclusions of the control body's report were sent to the Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice.
