After celebrating City Day and given the time of year, preparing the city's utilities for the heating season is the top priority for Lutsk. Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi emphasized today at an operational meeting that, above all, payments for energy carriers and communal services must be maintained at an appropriate level. In August, this indicator was at 102%, which made it possible to reduce the citywide debt by 123 thousand hryvnias. According to the mayor, Lutsk residents paid the most for gas - 125%. He also noted that the future cost of blue fuel is currently being discussed in Ukraine. Until now, a thousand cubic meters of gas cost 50 dollars, but most likely this year they will settle on a price of 100 dollars per thousand cubic meters. In this regard, Kryvytskyi predicts not only an increase in tariffs for housing and communal services, but also a rise in the cost of other types of services and goods. Also, before the start of the winter season, the mayor ordered that proper sanitary conditions be ensured in the city, especially during the leaf-fall period. He ordered that under no circumstances should utility workers burn fallen leaves, but rather remove them.
