The supply of heat to social sphere facilities begins in the Vitebsk region

Starting September 23, heating will be supplied to social sphere facilities in the Vitebsk region. This decision was made by the regional executive committee, as reported by Dmitry Gerasimov, First Deputy Head of the Main Department of Housing and Communal Services of the Regional Executive Committee.

First of all, healthcare facilities, social security institutions, schools, preschool institutions, as well as museums, state archives, and libraries should receive heat. The decision of the regional executive committee has been sent to the local authorities. Nevertheless, each district will independently decide on turning on the heating based on weather conditions.

Turning on heating in residential buildings is not yet planned. Heat is supplied to apartments when the average daily temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius for five consecutive days.

During the current inter-seasonal period, 519 boiler houses will operate in the Vitebsk region. All heat sources, as well as residential properties, have already received readiness certificates. During the preparation for winter, dispatch services and emergency crews have been supplemented with equipment and personnel.
