RT Ministry of Construction: This year, the heating season began a week earlier

The duration of the heating period in the republic is two-thirds of the calendar year. This year, due to weather conditions, the heating season in Tatarstan started on average a week earlier in the republic than a year earlier. This was announced today at a press conference in Kazan. “Last year, the heating season in the republic began on 21st of September, representatives of the Aktanyshsky district were the first who join the heating campaign. In Kazan, the heating season then started on the 1st of October. The duration of the heating period was 235 days. Of the 356 days, two thirds annually make up the heating season,” - said Ildus Nasyrov, Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan. According to him, this year in Kazan, the heating season began last week. Last Saturday, 30 kindergartens were connected to the heating supply. Within a week, the batteries will become hot in all socially significant facilities with children and patients. In residential buildings, heat will begin to be supplied gradually from tomorrow. This is facilitated by weather conditions. “We are giving priority to this issue. From tomorrow we will begin monitoring the heating supply in all municipalities,” - said Nasyrov.
