First deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Mazurchak declares the readiness to start the heating season from October 1, the KSCA press service informs.
"In case if the average daily air temperature is less than 8 degrees Celsius for 3 days running, Kyiv will be ready to enter the heating season from October 1," Mazurchak said.
First, the kindergartens, hospitals, schools will be provided with heat, and then the entire housing to be connected to the heating system.
"I am confident that this winter will pass in more stable regime. Thanks to a significant investment in repair and replacement of networks we managed to break the trend of growth in the number of accidents.
In addition, during the last heating season, experts monitored the most problematic areas of heat, these places have been included in this year's program to repair and most of them have already been repaired. However, if the emergency situation occurs, it will be the local accident, which will be promptly eliminated," Mazurchak said.
He also noted that during the autumn-winter of 2012-2013 a rapid response team will be on duty. It was established last year to operatively localization accidents in heating systems.
