Heating Network Tests in Novosibirsk: Hot Water Will Be Cut Off in Those Areas

In the city of Novosibirsk, located in the Siberia region of Russia, regular maintenance work continues as part of the heating season preparations. According to an official statement made by the Sibirskaya Generiruyushchaya Kompaniya (SGC), the hydraulic pressure tests, which constitute the tenth stage, will start on 9 July. These mandatory technical procedures are planned specifically to check the durability and leak-tightness of the heating networks fed from the TETs-2 source. Authorities want to detect possible malfunctions in the pipelines and eliminate them before the winter season. The tests in question are spread over a wide geographical area covering many districts and streets in the city.

The areas that will be affected following the hot water outages include various neighborhoods of the city. 1. and 2. Chulymskaya streets, Yasniy Bereg, Venedik, and modern residential complexes like Aqua-City, as well as the Doğu settlement area, are among the locations where the tests will be conducted. In addition, crowded neighborhoods such as Planirovoçnaya, Kotovskogo (the section from Vatutin to Blyuher), Perminina, and the Gorski residential area will be directly affected by this process. Many central locations, including Startovaya, Kosmiçeskaya, Vıstavoçnaya streets, as well as Blyuher and K. Marks avenues, are within the scope of the tests. Residents living around Vertkovskaya, Nemiroviça-Dançenko streets in the Kirovski region, the Panorama residential complex, and the Bölge Hastanesi will also have their share of outages.

According to available information, the drop in hot water temperature will begin at 00:00 on the night of 8 July, and the outage may continue until 22 July. This stands out as a situation covering a period of approximately two weeks in the region and directly affecting daily life. Such hydraulic tests require either completely shutting off the water in the system or altering the pressure to measure the pipelines' resistance to high pressure. For this reason, it is highly likely that households in the mentioned areas will be completely deprived of hot water between the specified dates. This situation makes it mandatory to produce alternative solutions, especially for basic needs such as personal hygiene and house cleaning.

Among the important details announced is that water outages will not end simultaneously in all regions during this process. Authorities have stated that the water supply will be restored gradually, meaning step by step. If any malfunction or weakness is detected in the pipelines during the tests, this will be immediately integrated into the repair processes. Immediately after the malfunctions are resolved, hot water service will return to normal in the relevant streets. This gradual transition is meticulously implemented to guarantee the solidity of the repairs in the infrastructure.

Various communication channels are kept open for citizens who want to get information about this current situation and track when the outages will affect their regions. Residents can reach the NTSK (Novosibirsk Heating Networks Company) call center by calling 8 (800) 300-55-55 and get detailed information. Additionally, the municipality's unified dispatch service continues to operate via the number 218-00-51. Such preventive maintenance works are of great critical importance in order to prevent major disasters and being left without heating during the winter months in the harsh climatic conditions of Siberia. City residents are expected to be patient during this process and follow the schedule announced by the authorities.
