Khabarovsk's heating networks pass winter prep tests with 168 flaws found

Hydraulic testing of Khabarovsk’s heating networks has finished ahead of the winter season. The checks aimed to uncover weak or damaged sections before cold weather arrives. Officials recorded 168 problem areas needing urgent repairs. During the tests, the system was filled with water and pressurised beyond normal levels. This process helped identify faults in pipes and components. As a result, a repair plan has now been approved to fix the defects.

Some residents may already face temporary water circulation issues. These disruptions stem from localised damage in in-building or in-apartment networks. Authorities have advised people to stay updated through their property management companies for any service changes.

The testing and repair work come before the heating season begins. Residents should prepare for possible short-term interruptions while fixes are carried out. The goal is to ensure the system runs smoothly once temperatures drop.
