In Kursk, fines for utility excavations may grow

In Kursk, they plan to tighten the responsibility of utilities for the failure of the deadlines for the elimination of excavations on heating networks and water supply. Even though heating is running in the vast majority of homes, gusts on worn-out networks continue to be a problem. The issue was discussed today, November 9, at a regular meeting of the regional government.

Currently, there are 73 emergency facilities, most of which are managed by the Kursk branch of RIR Energy. New orders for work are opened weekly, while the number of closed ones does not always correspond to the norm, Deputy Mayor of Kursk Lyudmila Polozhentseva reported.

First Deputy Governor Alexander Chepik expressed concern about the lack of changes in the situation for several years. He instructed the city administration to review the principles of interaction with resource-supplying organizations, strengthening control over the quality of work performed and increasing the amount of fines for non-compliance with the deadlines for eliminating diversions.
