The heating shutdown started in the Minsk region, Tatyana
Shmigelskaya, the head of the heat and power engineering department of
the housing and communal services of the Minsk region, told BelTA.
"Yesterday the decision of the Minsk Regional Executive
Committee on the shutdown of heating systems was signed.The document
does not contain a specific date for a complete shutdown According to
the technical code of established practice (TAP) for three days, the
average outside air temperature should be plus 8 degrees, which is the
reason for the termination of heat supply Taking into account the
geographic location of the various regions of the Minsk region and the
current climate, the district executive committees have the right to
make decisions on disconnections themselves, "said Tatyana Shm gelskaya.
According to her, the decision of the regional executive
committee was sent out for execution to the districts. Heating shutdown
has already started in the administrative buildings. Some boiler houses
do not allow separate disconnection of such buildings without stopping
the supply of heat to objects of other categories. In this case, their
heating continues. Outages in the housing stock will be the next stage
of the completion of the heating of the campaign. Lastly, the supply of
heat will be discontinued for social facilities - hospitals, schools,
kindergartens, etc.
Minsk region municipal authorities are already preparing plans
for the preparation of heating infrastructure facilities for the next
autumn-winter period.
The current heating season in the central region started in the first decade of October 2016.
