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.
