On September 20, during an operational meeting, Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi stated that due to the resignation of the Tymoshenko government, the state program for offsetting utility debts of the population against devalued savings may be suspended, reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. \n \nLutsk has the only centralized system in Ukraine for accounting and payment of utility services – the city computing center, and it was envisioned that Lutsk residents would be able to resolve these issues by contacting it. However, the main problem of the city that makes it impossible to pay off debt in one institution is that each utility service issues a separate certificate about accumulated debt only in its own sector. And this accordingly reduces the ability of Lutsk residents to offset utility debts, which contradicts the declarations of the new government. \n \nAccording to the mayor, the corresponding utility tariffs cover only 40-45% of utility services' expenses. Rising energy prices, minimum wages, etc. necessitate raising tariffs. \n \nAccordingly, Anton Kryvytskyi ordered the press center of the city council and the IAC "Lutsk" to begin active work on explaining the current situation to the population and to encourage consumers of housing and utility services to pay off their debts without counting on offsetting, and to be prepared for tariff optimization.
