Gas safety warnings and service interruptions in Romania and Moldova
In Romania, the Chimney Sweeps Association (Asociația Coșarilor din România) has issued a safety reminder for property owners to clean chimneys before the cold season begins. The association notes that neglecting maintenance is a primary cause of residential fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Under Romanian law, chimney cleaning and inspection are mandatory at least once a year and must be performed by authorized personnel to ensure technical compliance and insurance validity.
In the town of Giroc, Romania, Delgaz Grid announced a temporary suspension of natural gas supply on Monday, October 26, from 9:00 to 20:00. The interruption affects seven streets—Dacilor, Decebal, Remus, Romulus, Traian, Romanilor, and Arenei—due to maintenance work on the distribution system.
In Moldova, preliminary findings from SRL ‘Ialoveni-Gaz’ suggest that a recent explosion in the ‘Anenii-Noi Gaz’ service area was caused by unauthorized connections and serious deviations from technical safety standards. The company is warning consumers against the illegal modification of natural gas installations.
