He explained that, "according to federal law, the decision to end the heating period is made when the average daily air temperature remains above +8 ° C for five days."

“Taking into account the weather, it was decided to start transferring the capital's heating system to summer operation on May 10,” Biryukova quotes TASS.

He said that "the specialists of the Municipal Services Complex will have to turn off the heating in more than 74 thousand buildings, including over 34 thousand residential buildings."

“First, there are blackouts at industrial and administrative facilities, then - in residential buildings, schools, kindergartens and medical institutions,” the deputy mayor added.

Earlier it was reported that specialists from the Moscow City Economy Complex began to prepare heat supply systems for the end of the heating season.
