To replace all utility networks in the Sverdlovsk region, 160 billion rubles are needed.

      The head of the operational control and development department of the municipal infrastructure of the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Utilities of the region, Olga Belyanskaya, stated that about 160 billion rubles are needed to update the municipal infrastructure in the Sverdlovsk region.

      Currently, the wear of networks in the region has reached approximately 51%. At the same time, the pace of updating the municipal infrastructure leaves much to be desired, writes EAN.

      — We are unable to achieve the normative replacement rate of 5% annually. The maximum we reach is 1.5%. Therefore, it is impossible to avoid emergency shutdowns during the heating season and during repairs, Belyanskaya is quoted by the publication "FederalPress."

      Let us remind you that just as the heating season ended in Yekaterinburg, preparations for the next one have already begun.
