The Chisinau kindergartens and hospitals will get heat starting October 27, as the mayor Dorin Chirtoaca has inked a relevant ordinance, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to Education Direction chief Tatiana Nagnibeda-Tverdohleb, the average temperature in the kindergartens the last few days varied from 9 to 17 degrees Celsius. “Some parents brought their heaters so that the children can sleep well at noon,” she said, adding 94% of the kindergartens and schools have their heat connection permits endorsed. Parents brought heaters to hospitals, too, where the average temperature has been 11-12 Centigrades, Healthcare Direction chief Mihai Moldovanu says. “The patients say it is rather cold in hospitals and the connection to heating would be welcome,” he said. The municipal networks are ready to get the thermal agent, deputy mayor Vlad Cote told the City Hall staff meeting on Monday. Housing Direction chief Dionisie Boaghie has stated 70% of buildings have their permits okayed. The houses will get heat as soon as the air temperature will be 8 Centigrades three days in a row. Boaghie specifies that most house managers do not want the heat in order to save money. The schools will get connected after the pupils return from their Fall vacation, that is next Monday. Finances Direction head Maria Caraus says there is no financial coverage and they seek additional sources to pay for heating municipal entities. Also deputy mayor Mihai Furtuna confirms there is no money. He says “there are no big hopes to gather money to pay for the thermal agent, since the budget in-flows have been tumbling for the last five months.” This is because “unreal figures were proposed for the 2008 budget”, he said, hinting the Chisinau Council is to establish the heat charge. “On the one hand the air temperature drops gradually, on the other hand it's matter of costs. The bill this time is 60% bigger”, mayor Dorin Chirtoaca stated, hinting to the new regulation. Till the new regulation on heat indemnities enters force, the City Hall is to pay 2 million lei in daily compensations. “I notice for the first time that Termocom (heat company) is very eager to start supplying the heat, although it complaints of losses and say the charge does not match the costs. Normally, you would not provide a service for a longer period if you incur losses,” he added. The City Hall's debt to Termocom is now 176 million lei, because of the compensations to the population.
