The Ministry of Construction proposed to raise the rates for housing and community services to update the service networks. The Ministry of Construction plans to introduce small surcharges to the heat, water and sanitation rates. Additional funds will be used for major repairs and replacement of worn chains. The department intends to present the initiative to the government by December. Also, the ministry proposes to transfer to the regions the authority to determine rate increase indicators. Governors will be able to take into account local economic situations and negotiate higher increases for individual municipalities with the government. According to the Ministry of Construction data, since the beginning of the heating season there have been 744 accidents in housing facilities and shared services - 13.4% less than a year before. The maximum rate increase index today is 11.8%.
