Light instead of darkness: how to get rid of old lanterns

It used to be dark, now it's light

Until recently, the evenings in the area of the children's art school were not the most cozy. Parents meeting children from music classes, nervously stared into the darkness. Older people bypassed poorly lit areas. And the teenagers coming home, they walked fast, looking around.

Electrical engineers are working there today. And this is not just a “replacement of light bulbs” – this is a large-scale reconstruction that changes the appearance of the village.

“It is a pleasure to see our village transformed! Earlier in the evening in the area of the school was dark, and now the soul will be calmer – and the children will return from music classes, and we will walk in comfort. Thank you very much for your care and such necessary changes.

What is the problem and why it has not been solved for years

At first glance, what’s so hard to change a light? But here lies a systemic problem that has been accumulating for years. Village power lines have become obsolete for decades. Because of this, short circuits occur. And not only the wires themselves fail, but also the lamps.

It turns out a vicious circle: you put a new lantern - after a while it goes out again due to problems with the line. And so on. In the energy sector decided to go another way – complex.

As the head of the village Vladimir Mirokhin noted, an important issue is being worked out now - the acquisition of 1 km of power supply networks. This will allow the mass replacement of lines to begin next year.

“The lines will be replaced by sections, new ones will be installed in order to eliminate the risk of short circuits in the future,” said Vladimir Mirokhin, Head of Energy at the 55th MKD.

What has been done and what lies ahead

Work doesn't stand still. On the eve of the experts completed the work on the electric line at the house No. 55. Replacement needs for lamps have been monitored. The contract for the installation of 21 new luminaires has already been concluded with contractors. The work is in the active phase and will not stop even in winter.

Yes, there are a lot of broken lamps. Yeah, electricians take time. But the important thing is that the government keeps this issue under control. And residents are seeing change. This is not about promises, but about real deeds.

And when the village changes for the better, everyone feels it. It is too early to talk about a complete victory over the dark. But the first step is done. And it's very correct.

Thanks to the utilities for their promptness, and the administration for the fact that the issue is not abandoned halfway. We continue to follow the news and believe that Energy will become bright, cozy and safe very soon!
