As the summer approaches, resource-supplying organizations across various regions in Russia are gearing up for planned hot water shutdowns, affecting thousands of residents. From Samara to Nizhnekamsk, the heating networks are undergoing essential maintenance, which will result in temporary inconveniences for many households.
In Samara, preparations for the upcoming heating season of 2025/2026 are well underway. According to reports from T Plus, hot water will be limited in several residential buildings and organizations from May 14 to May 27, 2025. This shutdown will impact residents in the Kirovsky, Promyshlenny, and Sovetsky districts of the regional capital. Specialists will conduct hydraulic tests on the second heat main of the Samara TPP and the heating networks of the Verkhny zone of the Bezymyanskaya heating plant. A comprehensive list of affected addresses includes various streets such as Respublicanskaya, Sevastopolskaya, and Sovetskaya, among others.
Meanwhile, in Nizhnekamsk, the situation is similar, with hot water unavailable from May 10 to May 25, 2025, due to planned work on heating networks. The local administration has announced that several residential addresses will be affected, including Khimikov Street, Gainullina Street, and Gagarina Street. Notably, the shutdown will also impact kindergarten No. 98 and schools No. 2 and 3, along with several other facilities such as the Investigative Committee and various markets.
In the Stavropol Territory, resource-supplying companies have developed a schedule for hot water shutdowns throughout 2025. As reported by the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services, approximately 1.7 thousand homes in the region's capital will experience water shutdowns from May 12 to September 15, 2025. This process will be staggered, with details available on the AO Teploset website. Planned shutdowns in Kislovodsk are set to begin on June 2, 2025, with a maximum allowable shutdown period of 14 days, as stipulated by health regulations.
In Barnaul, SGK has recently reduced the number of buildings scheduled for hot water shutdowns starting May 12, 2025. This decision comes as the company aims to maintain the required load at its energy production stations. The hot water shutdown season will run from May 12 to May 18, 2025, due to necessary tests on heating networks that are conducted every five years to assess the condition of thermal insulation in pipelines. Currently, the list of affected consumers includes 712 apartment buildings, 32 kindergartens, and 30 medical institutions, among other facilities. Major hydraulic tests are expected to commence on May 19, 2025, with all work scheduled for completion by August 11, 2025.
As these planned shutdowns roll out, residents are encouraged to stay informed through local news outlets and official channels. In Samara, updates are regularly posted on the Telegram channel of 63.RU, where residents can also share their news and experiences. Similar channels exist for other regions, ensuring that residents are kept in the loop about the ongoing changes.
While these maintenance activities are essential for ensuring the reliability of heating networks, they inevitably bring about temporary disruptions. Residents are urged to prepare accordingly, whether that means stocking up on bottled water or making arrangements for alternative hot water sources during the shutdown periods. As the maintenance efforts progress, the hope is that the inconveniences will lead to improved services in the long run.
In conclusion, as various regions in Russia brace for planned hot water shutdowns, the importance of communication and preparedness cannot be overstated. With the right information and a little planning, residents can navigate these temporary disruptions with minimal hassle.
