Water Utility Paid Off Eight Million Ruble Debt in Kamchatka
Kamchatsky Vodokanal, the water utility in Kamchatka, has cleared a long-standing debt of over 8 million rubles. The payment came after the regional prosecutorâs office stepped in to resolve the dispute with a contractor.
The debt stemmed from work carried out on a water tower. Kamchatsky Vodokanal had failed to pay for the facade overhaul and new equipment. Despite repeated demands, the utility left the bill unsettled for months.
Eventually, the regional prosecutorâs office intervened. Authorities ordered the company to settle the outstanding amount immediately. Following the directive, Kamchatsky Vodokanal transferred the full sum to the contractor. Details about the contractor remain unclear. No public records identify the firm responsible for the water tower upgrades or the modular gymnasium at Sobolevsky Middle School, mentioned in earlier reports.
The intervention ensured the debt was paid in full. Kamchatsky Vodokanal has now met its financial obligation to the contractor. The case highlights the role of regulatory oversight in resolving unpaid public service contracts.
