50 apartment blocks of the capital will be switched off form the central heating system and hot water supply because of big debts for these services, according to SA „Termocom” press release. According to it, the majority of blocks will be switched off in the Rascani district – 18, followed by Buiucani district - 11 blocks; Ciocana district - 10; Botanica district - 9 and Centru district - 2 apartment blocks. The supplier notes that these blocks are managed by the Associations of Privatized Dwellings Owners and Dwelling Construction Cooperatives, which did not respect the debt payment schedule, established jointly with „Termocom”.
