Hot water supplies will not be back in Kyiv houses before September, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said.
“Currently, in this warm period, we are counting on Kyiv residents’
understanding over the lack of hot water. We will only return hot water
supplies with the arrival of the cold – in September, late September,”
Klitschko said at a Monday briefing, Aug. 4.
“The inconveniences experienced by Kyiv residents are temporary,” the city mayor added.
Currently, Kyivenergo is building up its stores of fuel oil while the
Ukrainian government is searching for an opportunity to increase its
own natural gas production and supplies from other countries, Klitschko
said.
Asked about prospects for the winter-time heating of residential houses, the mayor said that “it will be warm in our houses.”
On Aug. 4 Kyivenergo fully stopped hot water supplies in Kyiv.
