Happy Housing and Public Utilities Day!

Today, March 21, the holiday for employees of the housing and communal services industry.

The day is quite controversial. Especially this season, when many of my countrymen faced unexpected problems in terms of water supply and not only.

I myself am not always satisfied with what is happening in our housing and communal sphere (although in the last two or three years I see a lot of significant improvements, which I perfectly understand those who show the same discontent: well, sometimes there is something!

Housing and communal services are the intersection point of the "three lines": the laws of physics, the economic component and psychology. So try to make sure that ... yeah, so that they cross at one point, and do not dangle in space, not finding any contact at all! It is not easy.

And it is necessary.

And the result does not always depend on you - just due to the irresistibility of the laws of nature, first of all.

Moreover, the results that professionals achieve even in very difficult situations and "at the sight" of demanding inhabitants are valued.

Sometimes, you know, it is more valuable not even to solve a problematic communal situation, but an understanding that they really want to solve the issue and are looking for ways, and not look for the reasons why this cannot be done. That is why we often ask for public utilities: they say, do not be silent, at least signal what is in what light and what are the plans to solve a particular problem - the old, new, small, citywide. Because, while in response to our questions there is nothing but silence, go guess: they ignore the problem, or already eliminate, or look for how to do it (financially, technically and personnel. Yes, we are aware that each solution needs means, equipment and people who can properly control this technique and use these funds).

Of course, in the 21st century (about which we knew about the school bench that the minibuses were about to go to Mars. Well, or at least to the moon) I really want household comfort! And at least predictability in its changes. And when instead of a minibus to the moon (oh, I didn’t really want to!) The frozen water supply, a crowded sewage system, or there is a dark entrance with shabby walls - there is a terrible cognitive dissonance)))))))

And it would be better if it wasn’t - that is, it would be better to flow from where it should, it did not flow where it should be dry, did not show where the draft is not planned.

Thanks to those who are trying, so that it would be so.

I had to see in what conditions and what efforts this is achieved. How non -standard technical decisions are made and in what uncomfortable and sometimes even dangerous conditions are fighting for our comfort.

Conscientious and skillful housing and communal services, thank you for that!

Let the problematic moments in your work and your life be smaller, and well -being and changes for the better - more! And your health is good (you often risk them - in damp or in the cold, with different excavations and when working underground or where it is hot, not the latest air, where there is high and wind ...).

Thanks for what you are doing!

Happy holiday to you!
