The State Duma stated that the idea of ​​the Ministry of Construction to raise housing and communal services rates for pipe repairs "was not understood". The head of the State Duma Committee for Construction and Housing and Community Services, Sergey Pakhumov, told the "Podium" publication that according to his information, there are no such plans, but in any case, he is absolutely opposed to raising the cost of payments "even more". "The Construction Ministry says they were not understood, and there is nothing to comment on at all. This story has been going around since this morning, I'm talking to the minister, and the journalists were wrong, they haven't published anything and aren't planning anything. But I haven't seen the documents. But we are against increasing the rates even more. In general, this is the responsibility of the government and the regions. It is not discussed. And at least I can say that the residents' pockets are the last place to look when looking for funding to modernize the housing system and community services." Earlier, Parliamentskaya Gazeta reported that the Ministry of Construction proposed introducing levies on electricity bills for the repair of boiler houses and worn pipes; The corresponding document, according to the publication, was planned to be submitted to the government by December.
