It became known the period and terms in which hot water supply will be stopped in connection with planned work. Shutdown Schedule hot water somewhat different for Moscow and for the region. The term of work will be 10 days, but for some areas it has been reduced to three.
Shutdown of hot water supply in Moscow
The hot water shutdown period will begin in May of this year. It will be completed by September. The planned shutdown of hot water will take place in Moscow from May 13, 2019 to September 1. The same period is also relevant for New Moscow. The term for stopping the hot water supply will not exceed ten days. For some areas, it will be limited to 3 days. In some homes, water shutdowns are not expected at all.
The schedule for turning off hot water at the address can be specified in the form at the beginning of the article, on the official website of the Moscow United Energy Company. Or call toll-free hotline which is available to citizens around the clock.
Notification must occur no later than 10 days before the start of work. The information will be constantly updated. Therefore, for individual districts and streets, it must be clarified during the period of preventive work.
In the form or on the MIPC website, hot water shutdown can be clarified for individual administrative districts of the capital and microdistricts.
Disconnection of hot water by district
In order to clarify the start date and termination date for the hot water supply for each individual district and microdistrict, it is necessary to select the administrative district from the drop-down list: SVAO, SZAO, VAO, ZAO, Central Administrative District, SEAD, SZAO SAO, SAO. Then determine the street and house number.
In the event that the schedule is not determined, this means that the object of interest is owned by another organization and the work schedule must be clarified directly with the Management Company.
The schedule is presented in full days. That is, the start from 00:00 of the specified date, the planned completion of work at 23:59 of the day indicated in the schedule.
Disconnection of hot water in the South Administrative District
At the beginning of May this year, it will be possible to get acquainted with the interactive list of addresses for the termination of hot water supply and the work schedule.
The list will include 16 districts. Including Biryulyovo, Chertanovo, Tsaritsyno, Orekhovo-Borisovo and others.
Shutdown of hot water in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug
Termination of hot water supply in the North-Eastern Administrative District of the capital will also be presented in the form of an interactive list. Data on the schedule and timing of the work will be published by MIPC in the first days of May this year.
The list will include 15 districts. Among them will be Sviblovo, Maryina Roshcha, Otradnoye, Bibirevo, Rostokino and others. A detailed schedule for each district can be found separately.
Shutdown of hot water in the Moscow region
Termination of hot water supply in the Moscow region is somewhat different from the capital and may have its own characteristics. This is due to the fact that each of the municipalities sets its own rules and deadlines for the implementation of work.
So if the shutdown of water in Moscow in 2019 will be from 1 to 9 days for each site, then for regional cities the period can stretch up to 14 days. Detailed information on the schedule of work at the addresses can be clarified on the official websites of municipal administrations.
Shutdown of water in Zhukovsky
It is already known that the cessation of hot water supply in Zhukovsky will be carried out from May 16 to May 26. Hot water supply time is scheduled for 20:00. During this period, the equipment must be pressure tested, the defects in the heating networks have been identified and eliminated.
Turning off hot water in Khimki
You can get acquainted with the exact schedule of work on the official website of the Administration of the city district of Khimki. The period for the termination of water supply is tentatively scheduled from May 10 to August 20, 2019.
The list of boiler houses where preventive work will be carried out includes those that serve the microdistrict Ivakino, Planernaya, Podrezkino, Novogorsk and others.
Shutdown of hot water in Mytishchi
Work on the restoration of heating networks will be carried out by the Mytishchi Heating Network Company. All detailed information about the period of interruption of the water supply is located at the beginning of the article.
Here you can find the schedule for each street. They are sorted alphabetically with reference to the boiler room.
Shutdown of hot water in the city of Zelenograd
From May to the end of August 2019, work will be carried out in Zelenograd to restore heating networks. As a result, residential buildings will be disconnected from the supply of hot water. The maximum period of work will be 10 days for each section.
You can find out the exact schedule at the addresses for the city of Zelenograd at the beginning of the article.
Shutdown of hot water in Balashikha
Carry out work in preparation for heating season will be " Heating network Balashikha". Detailed information on the timing and addresses of the termination of hot water supply can be found at the beginning of the article.
Shutdown of hot water in the city of Korolev
Science City Korolev will provide information on the timing and areas of preventive work as part of the notification of the population on the official website of the Administration.
More than 20 boiler houses are included in the list of those subject to preventive maintenance. These include Novye podpilki, Tekstilshchiki, Samarovka, Komitetsky forest, Alfa Loval, Suvorovskaya, Tarasovskaya and others.
Shutdown of hot water in the city of Zheleznodorozhny
A detailed schedule and addresses of the shutdown can be found on the website of the city administration or the Government of the Moscow Region. Up-to-date information on this issue will be provided no later than the first days of May of the current year.
The list for work will include more than 25 boiler houses. During the planned period of DHW shutdown, defects in heating networks should be identified and eliminated and they should be prepared for the upcoming heating season.
Disconnection of hot water in the city of Dolgoprudny
Accurate information on the schedule for shutting down the hot water supply will be provided by the City Administration. The term of the work will not exceed 14 days.
Scheduled outage will be indicated in the schedule full days, that is, from 00:00 on the start date to 23:59 on the end date.
Why is hot water turned off?
Turning off the water in the summer is a common occurrence. This is due to the need for preventive work in preparation for the heating season.
Hydraulic tests are carried out in boiler houses and heating networks. They are aimed at:
- assessment of the quality of repair of heating networks;
- detection of defects and elimination of the causes of heat loss.
Turning off the water is a necessary measure. Without it, utilities will not be able to conduct necessary work and tests. Therefore, without stopping the hot water supply, adequately prepare for winter period impossible.
The usual shutdown time for heat supply is the end of April or the beginning of May. But this does not mean at all that the batteries in yours will become cold from May 1 or May 15. The average daily temperature should stay at +8°C for at least three days for at least three days, while those responsible for the life support of the settlement should be confident that sharp decline no more this season.How does this happen?
The heat supply company cannot voluntarily supply or disconnect heat. The management of the enterprise must receive an appropriate instruction from the district or municipal administration. After the average daily temperature exceeds the required threshold of 8 ° C, the head of the administration issues a corresponding decree. It must be published. The decree specifies from what date the heating is turned off and in what order. The head of the administration issues the same resolution on the beginning of the heating season.Where to find the document
According to the legislation on local self-government, all decisions of the administration must be published on the official website of the municipality. Unfortunately, not everyone has such sites yet. municipalities. Therefore, the resolution is published in parallel in the city newspaper, which is the official printed organ of local government structures. You can learn about its existence from the news on local radio and television. Electronic media are not required to fully read out, but the date of the heat shutdown will certainly be reported.Where to call?
You can also get the information you need from the local administration. The department or committee on management of housing and communal services deals with this issue. It is his employees who usually prepare the relevant resolution for the head of administration, so that the whole necessary information you have. As for the heat supply company itself, in the absence of a resolution, the end date of the heating season is unlikely to be reported to you there. But on the other hand, they are obliged to notify, for example, about the upcoming hydraulic tests of heating systems. If in your locality the end of the heating season is accompanied by a shutdown of hot water, you should be informed about this by everyone possible ways. The management company is obliged to post relevant information on its website, post an ad onSwitching off has become a tradition for summer time. In our country there is no longer a single city where the implementation of such actions would not be practiced. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the basic rules associated with this process.
Why turn off hot water?
In every city there are organizations that are responsible for solving this issue. Let's take Moscow as an example.
The Moscow United Energy Company is an enterprise that deals with this issue in the capital. This organization employs employees responsible for preparing heating systems for the upcoming season. That same prevention just includes set of planned preventive works. They are carried out at small boiler houses, on the territory of quarterly, district thermal stations.
These works have their own characteristics:
- It all starts with a manual survey.
- The next step is to start the water under high pressure. In this case, it is 25 percent more than usual.
- Holes are found, even if they are not visible underground.
Turning off the water is necessary so that the equipment can be prepared for autumn-winter, when the system has maximum loads. During the shutdown, activities such as:
- Transfer of heating networks.
- Repair.
- Diagnostics.
- Strength tests.
- Technical certification.
- The equipment is changed to more modern, with greater reliability.
For how long and when?
The law separately establishes a period that cannot be exceeded when carrying out repair work. It is equal to 21 days. The schedule of shutdowns, the performance of these works is agreed between local authorities. And it is individually developed for each of the districts. If at least part of the project goes beyond the deadline, it is considered an emergency.
If this happens, litigation begins, at the highest level.
What is happening in other countries?
Let's start with Ukraine. There are mandatory water cuts. And the terms are usually the same, up to two or three weeks. In Germany, heating is also quite expensive. But in this country they do without such a procedure.
In Germany, they generally try to save as much as possible. In Belgium, there is also no shutdown procedure. Both hot and cold water are available all year round. At the same time, each house chooses its own water supply system. Shutdown is possible only in case of repair. But it doesn't last more than a few hours a day. In France, there is no heating, as well as hot water.
Each house has boilers, electric or gas. There are other features for those who live abroad:
- In Great Britain do not serve hot water as such. Everyone has a boiler that needs gas and electricity. Disconnected from the resource only in the absence of payment for it.
- Inhabitants New York also not familiar with shutdowns.
- They don't do it in Israel, Armenia. Each has its own water distribution system. And their costing schemes.
How to find out that the water will be turned off at a specific address?
If there is no announcement hanging at the entrance, then the first organization you should contact is, or a homeowners association. Or another company in charge of house management.
In the case of the HOA, the phone is easiest to find out by contacting the chairman of the community. Or see the contacts on the receipt, according to which the resident of the apartment pays for utilities.
One of the options is to call the representatives of the emergency dispatch service. They often give their contact details at the entrance, or somewhere nearby.
What to do if disconnected without warning?
The call center of Vodokanal is the first place you should contact. But not in all situations they will be able to help exactly there. In each city, this organization has its own official website, for example, in Moscow.
It is better to drive into the search engine "gorvodokanal + city name". The official site will drop out in one of the first results.
Do not disturb Vodokanal in the following cases:
- For example, in the presence of private networks. Vodokanal employees are responsible only for those networks that are on the balance sheet. But there are communications that were laid privately for some time, and were not transferred to the balance of this organization. Then the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the network owners themselves.
- There is one more situation in which one should not make claims against Vodokanal. It is when repair work carried out by the management company. Then it's better to contact them. In each city and house they have their own contacts. It is best to ask the chairmen for help. management company they are usually nearby.
Responsibility for resolving the issue
If Vodokanal is still responsible, the law establishes clear deadlines for which the work must be completed. They depend on the diameter of the pipelines, what kind of damage has occurred. Standard terms are 4-24 hours.
When there is no water for too long, residents have the right to appeal to Vodokanal with a claim. The application can be submitted either to the resource supplier or to Vodokanal itself. In the first case, you need to go to the website of utilities that work with the house. And find the details of companies supplying resources. The claim is written in their name.
How to solve the problems associated with the lack of hot water?
Installing a water heater in an apartment is one of the most affordable ways to solve this issue. Now they produce many models, with a variety of schemes of work. Their use becomes as comfortable as possible in any conditions. There are compact varieties, they can even be transported to the country.
Water heating can be done by gas, electric stoves. It's not the best convenient way. But this is the only way out for those who do not want to use additional devices in principle.
Another suitable solution is a boiler. Many problems are removed in the presence of modern dishwashers, washing machines. They do not need hot water, they can work on cold. You can also use normal Electric kettle if the water needs to be heated in small quantities.
Which boiler to choose, what parameters to look at?
There are two main types of water heaters - flow and water storage. By the titles it is already easy to understand what the essence of the work is. The main thing is to remember that the cumulative variety is considered the best in many respects. They heat up the water high temperatures, but much less energy and the liquid itself are spent on this.
This solution will be ideal for owners ordinary apartments, private houses.
Varieties of devices by material
The internal part of storage water heaters is made of different materials. They can be:
- Titanium. Rather, with the use of spraying based on this material. These tanks are almost eternal. But there is little demand in the market because of its high price.
- Glass-porcelain. Also quite an expensive option. But on the other hand, it has a higher resistance to corrosion, even with constant contact with water. But the material cannot withstand sharp mechanical damage, large fluctuations in temperature.
- From stainless steel. With relative stability affordable price on the market. But sudden changes in temperature can lead to the formation of microcracks on the surface. Therefore, it is better not to set the heating mode to maximum performance.
Volume. Does it matter?
The volume is chosen depending on where the device is mounted and how many people use it.
The capacity of boilers is different: from 30 to 500 liters. According to scientists, about 60-80 liters of water goes to the average family of 4 people. The larger the volume, the more electricity the device consumes.
Properly turn off the water heater
To resolve this issue, we perform a few simple steps.
- The boiler is disconnected from the power socket. Then you need to use up the remaining water, and let it cool.
- The cold water inlet is closed to avoid filling the water heater with another liquid. On the branch pipe through which hot water flows, we stretch the rubber hose. The other end of the hose is directed to the sewer.
- The drain valve is unscrewed after the safety valve is unscrewed.
- We go to the mixer, turn off the tap with hot water. Then in the boiler tank there will be no pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure. First, air will be sucked into the water heater. And then there will be a discharge of water, with the participation of the valve. Pouring of water occurs unevenly, in small portions.
- Water from the boiler, through a hose, is poured into the sewer. After that, you need to blow into the hose. The main thing is the absence of any extraneous sounds. The hot water supply hose from the water supply side is unscrewed.
- The boiler is carefully removed from the wall when all the hot water is gone.
What types of heating elements are used?
Heating elements are needed to heat water inside boilers. Modern models are supplied with two varieties of such devices.
- Wet.
- Dry.
Dry heating elements are a device placed inside a protective tube. The tube itself can be ceramic or mineral, glass. Compared to wet heating elements, dry heating elements are considered more reliable because they resist corrosion better. But they are also known for their high cost.
Wet models are also called submersible. Because they are placed directly in the liquid. Such devices are appearance reminiscent of the boilers that everyone once used. These structures are often broken, destroyed by corrosion.
Heating elements are equipped with special sacrificial anodes, which increases the protection of the structure. Because of this, corrosion elements are oxidized, destroyed inside. The same thing happens with salt deposits. There are other additional details:
- Thermometer serving as a temperature indicator.
- Thermostat for temperature control.
About other features of storage boilers
- 2 kW - optimal power for a water heater that has only one element. Water heating will be fast, and you will not have to fiddle with laying wires to provide energy.
- Heating elements with a larger area boast greater heat dissipation. And the amount of scale per 1 square centimeter they have less.
Protection systems and boiler control systems are conditionally divided into microprocessor and classical ones. The microprocessor category includes devices equipped with thermostats. In addition to the main such device, the design has an additional one to adjust the operation in any mode. Such heaters have a good scheme of operation, but their reliability is seriously affected. The board fails too quickly if the temperature jumps from one level to another. At home, repairs are almost impossible. Such a scheme is too complicated.
The housing is needed so that all the elements of the water heater are placed in it. Such characteristics as material, color and design practically do not matter. Each user chooses what he likes best. Thermal insulation and thickness of the device deserve special attention. Do not take devices that have a thickness of less than 35 millimeters. Otherwise, there will be additional energy costs later. Instantaneous water heaters more compact. And they can be installed anywhere where there is a cable with the appropriate cross section.
Why hot water is turned off - more on the video
Why are annual planned shutdowns of hot water carried out?
In Moscow, annually from May to the end of August, hot water is turned off for preventive maintenance. The hot water shutdown schedule is drawn up and published before the start of the scheduled shutdown season. Enter your address in the line below and find out when hot water will be turned off in 2019.
2. Why is hot water turned off every year in Moscow?
Turning off hot water is a technical necessity for preparing communications for the heating season in order to ensure reliable performance all elements of a complex system of district heating - thermal stations, main and distribution heating networks, central and individual heating points. Carrying out preventive work, as a rule, requires turning off hot water from consumers for a short period of time.
3. How long is hot water off?
Today in Moscow, the duration of blackouts is no more than 10 days. At the same time, in 2011, water was turned off for 14 days, and even earlier - for 21 days. 10 days is a reasonable term for turning off hot water without losing the quality and reliability of the Moscow heat and power system.
In new microdistricts, where new generation networks are laid, modern heating points are equipped, the shutdown period can be reduced to the minimum required for preventive maintenance, ensuring high-quality preparation of equipment. Replacing old motors, pumps and heat exchangers requires more time and attention. For this reason, the shutdown period may vary in different areas, quarters, and even neighboring houses.
The term for turning off hot water for the period of preventive maintenance is indicated from the time and date of the start of the shutdown to the time and date of the end of the shutdown of hot water supply, but cannot exceed 10 days, that is, it must be less than 240 hours.
4. In which houses in Moscow hot water is not turned off at all or is turned off for a short time?
In houses with alternative piping, hot water may not be turned off every year, or for a short period of time, because it is possible to check and repair the main system while hot water is supplied through the backup pipes. However, even the most modern equipment requires prevention, so completely abandon the shutdown of hot water in the metropolis with centralized system heat supply is not possible.
5. Why isn't the cold water turned off?
Because the water supply system provides for backup pipes. Water passes through them when the main pipes are being repaired.
6. Do I have to pay for hot water during a shutdown?
Payment for the consumption of cold and hot water is carried out in accordance with the readings of individual metering devices installed in the apartments. So that the hot water meter does not wind up extra cubic meters during the preventive shutdown, we recommend that you close it for this time and use only cold water Especially since it's cheaper. Often, management companies close the in-house valves themselves for the period of outages, but additional foresight will not hurt.
In the event of an unscheduled shutdown, if you did not receive hot water in the required volume or there were interruptions in its supply, you can count on the recalculation of the amount of the fee in the direction of its reduction, up to a complete exemption from payment for such a service. And for each hour of hot water supply, the temperature of which is below 40 ° C, in total during the billing period, payment for the consumed water is made at the rate for cold water.
