Sergey Vadimovich, so you can expect that there will be a program of modernization of housing and communal services, as disaster housing?
Sergei Stepashin It was already implemented in 25 regions. Recently I traveled to the Pskov region city Island. There is a large-scale modernization of two boiler rooms to increase their capacity. Now the residents of the municipality are guaranteed to be always with warmth. All this, of course, have to deal with. We have good technology, businesses, professionals. All can change.
still probably need to take a long-term and large-scale program?
Sergei Stepashin: Absolutely. Now we are preparing a meeting on housing and communal services under the auspices of the President of the country, which will apply to municipalities, and problems with municipal infrastructure. This is the future.
But there are problems that need to be solved quickly. They are associated with a coronavirus. Three months people can delay payment of utility services without fear of penalties. For capital repairs do not have to pay it. The public Council of the Ministry, which I chair, wrote a letter to the Prime Minister to still consider the payment options to companies who work in housing.
