The communal housing and services companies of Kamensk-Uralsk (Sinara Group) owes IES Multiutilities 84 million RUR (as of December 1, 2007), which is 6 million more than in November 2007. The debt is, in fact, an unpaid hot water and electricity bill.

Sinara was supposed to have paid the supplier 38 million RUR in November 2007, yet the debtor announced at the beginning of the month that they were only able to pay 34 million RUR. By the end of the month, however, they said they could only pay 25 million RUR, and ended up paying 14 million RUR, the spokesperson for IES Multiutilities said to UrBC.

The company’s Sales Director Alexander Kozlov warns the city dwellers might find themselves deprived of hot water on December 11, 2007.
