The utility bills may rise. The Ministry of Construction proposed to include in the receipts an addition for heat, water and sanitation. This money will be used exclusively for major repairs and replacement of worn pipes and boiler rooms. According to sources, the money from the current rates is only enough to maintain the condition of the systems, but not for a complete replacement of the pipes. To avoid malfunctions and permanent shutdowns in the winter, they must be updated regularly. The new premium will provide the industry with stable financing. The document is planned to be submitted to the government by December.
