The heating networks in Kstovo District will be tested with dye.

      21 October 2025 12:02 Society Specialists of the Kstovo heat networks of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of T Plus will check the city’s and the district’s rural settlements’ heat supply systems for leaks. For this, an organic dye, “Uranin A,” will be added to the network water:

      to the make-up water system of the Kstovo heat network from the Novogorkovskaya CHP — from 27 October;

      into the heating systems supplied by the Kstovo boiler houses — from 3 November.

      The dye “Uranin A” colors the water green. This will help identify possible leak locations as well as illegal tie-ins on the heat networks.

      We ask residents, upon discovering leaks of yellow-green colored water or any damage to the heat networks, to immediately report them to the dispatch service of the Kstovo heat networks by phone (83145) 7-97-75 or to the unified duty-dispatch service of the Kstovo district by phone (83145) 2-48-41.

      The dye “Uranin A” is approved for detecting water leaks in heat networks and is safe for people and the environment. It is also widely used in the production of household chemicals, in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and other sectors.

      At the same time, we draw attention to the fact that water “from the radiator” cannot be used for household purposes. Before being supplied to the heating system it undergoes chemical treatment and contains special reagents that prevent scale formation and are unsafe for human health. In addition, it is not treated to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms.
