(KZN.RU,
August 17, Anton Nozdrin). The payment for hot water supply in Kazan will be
charged differentially. The maximum index level of citizens’ payment for
housing and communal services from July 1 to December 31, 2017, will be 6.6%.
The corresponding draft decree of the President of the RT was approved at the
extraordinary XIX session of the Kazan City Duma. The meeting was held at the Executive
Committee under the conduction of Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan.
Alexey
Frolov, the first deputy minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing and
Communal Services of the RT, said that the ministry developed an order for
calculation of standards. According to him, the standards are calculated
differentially by the principle of justice. “The current tariff is unified for
all categories of houses, and new standards are approved, based on the
technical characteristics of residential houses. These are houses with
centralized hot water supply, with individual heating units, with and without
towel warmers, and insulated and uninsulated pipelines”, said the speaker. So,
according to the introduced norms, the greatest deviation is 4%. These are houses
with centralized hot water supply, towel warmers, and uninsulated risers. The
value of the norm in other cases will be less than the current one.
“There will
not be changes in payment for the population taking into account the
implementation of programs in Kazan for the transfer of residential houses from
central to individual heat units, the payment will be reduced to a greater
extent”, said A. Frolov.
Emil
Khusnutdinov, the chairman of the permanent commission of the Kazan City
Council for Urban Development and Housing and Communal Services, noted that the
adoption of this decision will be right. “Charging for hot water will be
carried out in a differentiated manner, which will lead to a reduction in the
financial costs of public services for most citizens”, said E. Khusnutdinov.
The
decision on the approving the draft decree of the President of the RT “On the
maximum indexes of changes in the amount of utility payments of citizens in the
municipal formations of the RT for 2017” was adopted by the deputies
unanimously.
