The approach of the New Year and Christmas celebrations often brings joy, but it also requires caution to prevent holiday chaos. The Slutsk-Gorod.by has issued public service announcements emphasizing key guidelines to avoid clogging sewer systems. A significant point raised is the misuse of toilets—residents are advised to refrain from flushing inappropriate items. Indeed, it’s important to understand the distinction between garbage chutes and sewage systems, as improper waste disposal can lead to unpleasant situations.
Notably, toilet misuse is one of the primary culprits behind clogs. Items like wet wipes, sanitary pads, and cotton swabs should never see the inside of toilets. Instead, they should be disposed of responsibly. Kitchen waste also poses risks; pouring fats, oils, and large food remnants down the sink prompts significant plumbing issues. A practical tip? Save fats in containers and dispose of them with regular trash. Simple alterations to how waste is handled can prevent costlier repairs later.
Preventive Measures
Using strainers and filters for sinks and showers can capture hair and stray food particles, mitigating potential clogs. Regular cleaning of pipes is also advised; various safe and effective products are available to help maintain good plumbing health. Periodic inspections may catch sluggish drains early—a warning sign indicating possible future blockages—and allow preemptive actions.
These modest investments of time and effort, following the outlined recommendations, can extend the life of home plumbing and save on substantial repair costs.
Shifting focus to healthcare, the Biysk City Hospital No. 2 has announced its operating schedule during the holiday season. Starting on December 30, various specialists will be available on specific days, including therapists, gynecologists, and others, operating from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Emergency medical services will remain available around the clock for urgent situations.
For those needing elective consultations or information concerning other medical inquiries, the hospital’s unified contact center is accessible through the phone number 8(3854)255-178. It’s also worth highlighting the contact number for rapid response units; simply call 103 to summon urgent care.
On the social front, heartwarming stories emerge during this festive season, as seen through the lens of community generosity. For example, three individuals connected with the Slutsk primary organization of the Disabled Persons' Society are hopeful they’ll receive gifts from secret benefactors, expressing their wishes to Santa Claus.
Meanwhile, as public services prepare for the influx of celebrations, local government initiatives are advancing the development of paid road systems, aiming to improve traffic infrastructure and overall connectivity.
With ample festivities, attention to household responsibilities can make all the difference. By taking precautionary steps to maintain plumbing health and staying informed about healthcare availability, residents are poised to enjoy the holidays without preventable misfortunes.
