Rostechnadzor finds faults with region’s getting ready for upcoming heating season

The Interregional Territorial Technological and Environmental Safety Department of Rostechnadzor (the state environmental watchdog) in Ural Federal District reports their inspections revealed a number of violations in terms of Sverdlovsk Region authorities getting ready for the heating season 2007/2008.

For one, Uktus Company never got a license entitling it to handle the explosion-prone productive facilities; Polevskoye and Sverdlovsk Utilities Systems (both of which are based in Polevskoy) haven’t got enough trained and certificated employees; the towns of Degtyarsk, Zarechniy, and Kamyshlov don’t seem to have a budget for repairing the heating equipment.

Nizhniy Tagil-based Energotekhnik is not getting ready for the upcoming heating season at all since the company had to make a lot of people redundant due to debts.

The town of Kamyshlov only provided enough money to repair and replace the boiling equipment in eight out of forty-four planned instances.
