Kyiv city authorities temporarily restrict hot water supply in some buildings to restore heating - KCSA

In Kyiv, hot water supply has been temporarily restricted in some residential buildings to free up heat capacity to restore centralized heating.

The Kyiv City State Administration reported this, Censor.NET says, citing hromadske.

The restrictions apply only to buildings where it is technically necessary to restart the heat supply system and do not cover the city’s entire housing stock.

"This is especially relevant in conditions where the system has to be started not for the first time, but for the third time — as in part of the housing stock in the Desnianskyi district," the city authorities explained.

They emphasized that this is a temporary and forced step aimed at restoring heat after the aftermath of enemy attacks.

About 200 buildings in Kyiv remain without heating, most of them on the right bank of the city.
