Khabarovsk races to repair 168 heating system flaws before winter

Khabarovsk has finished hydraulic testing on all its heating plant circuits. The checks uncovered 168 areas of damage and faulty parts needing urgent attention. A repair plan has now been put in place to fix the problems before winter. The tests involved filling the city’s heating networks with water and raising the pressure beyond normal operating levels. Denis Yelkin, the First Deputy Mayor for Municipal Services, oversaw the process. Officials have stressed that while the main networks are managed by the city, any issues inside buildings or apartments remain the responsibility of property management firms and homeowners.

Some residents may already notice temporary disruptions in water circulation due to localised damage. The city administration is releasing regular updates on the repair work. At the same time, people are being urged to stay informed through their property management companies for details on possible service interruptions. With 168 defects now identified, the approved repair schedule aims to restore full functionality to the heating systems. Residents should check for updates from both the city and their property managers. The goal is to complete all necessary fixes before the colder months begin.
