One day after the opening of the heating season in schools, hospitals and kindergartens, Mayor of Chisinau municipality Dorin Chirtoaca made an order obliging saving the heat, IPN reports.
In a communiqué, the Chisinau City Hall says the municipal enterprises and budget-funded institutions are obliged to save heat by fully turning off the heating system at night, between 4pm and 7am, if the temperatures are higher than 0 degrees Celsius. If the average daytime temperature is higher than 8 degrees Celsius, the heat will be turned off during the day too.
A number of 116 kindergartens of the 123, 8 hospitals of the 51 and a number of schools and lyceums have been connected to the centralized heating system so far. The apartment buildings will be connected when the building managers ask to.
