Checking the operability of networks and their readiness for heating season in this case it takes 3-4 days, although it may vary depending on the characteristics of the system and the area. As the number of new pipes and equipment increases each year, water shutoff times for many areas are reduced. But about 70% of communication networks in the capital remain from Soviet times.
Why is the water turned off?
An annual shutdown of hot water is necessary to check the serviceability of the networks and their readiness for the next season. Hot water supply is stopped to carry out preventive maintenance. They necessarily include hydrotesting under high pressure, which makes it possible to identify the weak points of highways. Eliminating faults and weak points reduces the risk of emergency situations during the cold season.
Not only heating networks, but also heat exchangers, pumping and other equipment require regular maintenance. During the period when hot water is turned off, maintenance and various preventive maintenance work that can prevent many troubles during the heating season.

Already on September 1, some residents of Khabarovsk will be left without hot water - the autumn pressure testing of heating networks begins in the Far Eastern capital. Power engineers will have to test the strength of more than 200 kilometers of heating mains before the heating season.
WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE HOT WATER BE TURNED OFF?
Consumers of the Industrial District and partly of the Central District will be the first to be left without water - within the boundaries of Mukhina Streets (from Postyshev to Slobodskaya), Gamarnika (odd side), Slobodskaya, Pushkin Street (to Karl Marx Street)
The outages will also affect some residents of the Zheleznodorozhny district - the Khabarovsk-2 district, Aerodromnaya, Tselinnaya, Kostromskaya streets, the area of Geodesicheskaya, Promyvochnaya, Shmakovskaya streets, and Dosy.
At this time, two suburban villages in the Khabarovsk region - Ilyinka and Rakitnoye - will also be in the shutdown zone.
From 6 to 12 September Hot water will be turned off in houses in the Podgaev Street area due to repairs to the boiler house in the Volochaevsky town.
From September 18 to 28 - Krasnoflotsky, partially Kirovsky, Central and Zheleznodorozhny district
Following CHPP-1, hydraulic tests will begin at CHPP-3. All residents of the Krasnoflotsky district will remain without water for ten days, as well as some consumers in the Central district of Khabarovsk: within the boundaries of Ussuriysky Boulevard, Leningradskaya, Amursky Boulevard and Sheronova streets. In the Kirovsky district, hot water will disappear on Amursky Boulevard, Dzhambula, Shelesta, Voronezhskaya, Leningradskaya and Mukhina (from Postyshev to Leningradskaya). In the Zheleznodorozhny district, everyone will be left without water except for the residents of Aerodromnaya, Tselinnaya, Geodesicheskaya, Promyvochnaya, Shmakovskaya, Kostromskaya, DOSov and the Khabarovsk-2 district - these consumers will be provided with water by CHPP-1.
The last one on schedule is CHPP-2. During the pipeline testing period, residents of the Kirovsky district within the boundaries of the streets: Amursky Boulevard, Dzhambula, Metallistov, Tikhovenaya, Istomina will remain without hot water.
Also, consumers in the Central District will not have water within the boundaries of the streets: Amursky Boulevard, Sheronova, Lenin - from Blucher Square to the street. Shevchenko.
Strength testing of heating networks is carried out to determine their readiness for the next heating season, explains Director of KhTSK Sergei Nehoroshikh.- The pressure in the pipelines is increased to a level approximately a quarter higher than the standard load. This is necessary in order to promptly identify “weak spots” in heating networks and prevent the formation of defects and failures in heat supply during the upcoming heating season. Therefore, we ask consumers to be understanding of the inconveniences associated with the temporary lack of hot water.
The spring of 2017, which became the coldest in the last few decades, forced power engineers in Moscow and St. Petersburg to adjust hot water shutdown schedules to carry out annual preventive maintenance of heating and water supply systems.
Due to unfavorable weather conditions, the heating season in the two capitals was extended, and the start of work was delayed by an average of two weeks.
When will hot water be turned off in Moscow: timing, scope of work
A few days ago, Muscovites began to consistently turn off heating in residential buildings and social facilities, and on May 22, an updated schedule for interrupting hot water supply in the capital came into force. The adjusted hot water shutdown schedule in Moscow in 2017 can be viewed on the MOEK (Moscow United Energy Company) website. It shows when and in which areas shutdowns will take place.
It is known that during the shutdown period, in addition to diagnostics and repair of pipelines, hydraulic tests will also be carried out. In addition, specialists will have to check the performance of equipment installed in district heating and pumping stations, as well as in central heating points. As a rule, all work takes about 14 days. Work on all capital sites must be completed by August 25, 2017. There should be no planned shutdowns in the future.
According to MOEK, during the preventive maintenance it is planned to check the performance of approximately 33 thousand residential buildings. By the way, 3,000 residential buildings in Moscow will not be affected by the shutdown of hot water in the summer of 2017.
Hot water shutdown schedule in 2017 in St. Petersburg: online version
St. Petersburg residents should also be prepared for the imminent shutdown of hot water in residential buildings. Resource supply organizations will begin preventive work in the very near future.
To find out the exact schedule for turning off the hot water supply in the house during the period of annual scheduled work in the summer of 2017, every St. Petersburg resident can use the convenient online service offered by resource supply organizations. To do this, you need to go to the company’s website and type your address in the search box.
Repair work on heating networks in the Northern capital is expected to last until the end of August. It is planned to carry out scheduled preventive maintenance of almost 300 energy sources and more than 200 central heating points.
In Moscow, hot water is turned off annually from May to the end of August for maintenance work. The hot water shutdown schedule is drawn up and published before the start of the planned shutdown season.
2. Why is hot water turned off every year in Moscow?
Turning off hot water is a technical necessity to prepare communications for the heating season, in order to ensure reliable operation all elements complex system centralized heat supply - thermal stations, main and distribution heating networks, central and individual heating points. Carrying out preventive maintenance, as a rule, requires turning off hot water to consumers for a short period of time.
3. For how long is hot water turned off?
Today in Moscow the duration of outages is no more than 10 days. Moreover, in 2011 the water was turned off for 14 days, and even earlier - for 21 days. 10 days is a reasonable period for turning off hot water without loss of quality and reliability of the Moscow heat and power system.
In new microdistricts where new generation networks have been laid, modern heating points, the shutdown period can be reduced to the minimum necessary for carrying out preventive maintenance to ensure high-quality preparation of the equipment. Replacing older motors, pumps and heat exchangers requires more time and attention. For this reason, the shutdown period may vary in different areas, blocks and even neighboring houses.
The period for shutting off hot water for the period of maintenance work is indicated from the time and date of the start of the shutdown to the time and date of the end of the shutdown of hot water supply, but cannot exceed 10 days, that is, it must be less than 240 hours.
4. In which houses in Moscow is hot water not turned off at all or only turned off for a short period of time?
In homes with alternative piping, the hot water may not be turned off every year, or for a short period of time, because it is possible to check and repair the main system while hot water is flowing through the backup pipes. However, even the most modern equipment requires prevention, so completely refuse to turn off hot water in a metropolis with centralized system heating supply is not possible.
5. Why don't they turn off the cold water?
Because the water supply system provides backup pipes. Water flows through them when the main pipes are repaired.
6. Do I have to pay for hot water during a shutdown?
Payment for cold and hot water consumption is carried out in accordance with the readings of individual metering devices installed in the apartments. To prevent the hot water meter from accumulating extra cubic meters during the period of preventive shutdown, we recommend that you turn it off during this time and use only cold water- especially since it is cheaper. Often management companies close the in-house valves themselves during outages, but additional precautions would not hurt.
In the event of an unscheduled shutdown, if you did not receive hot water in the required volume or there were interruptions in its supply, you can count on the amount of the fee being recalculated downward until you are completely exempt from paying for such a service. And for each hour of hot water supply, the temperature of which is below 40°C, in total during the billing period, payment for consumed water is made at the rate for cold water.
