"Water Utility Company Vodokanal has published a ranking of management firms and the Town Sewerage and Water Utility (TSC) of Yakutsk, ranking them based on performance and service delivery standards."

In the city of Yakutsk, the municipal water utility company, JSC "Vodokanal," has issued an appeal for residents to closely monitor the activities of organizations managing trusts, as systemic violations of contract terms continue to affect the quality of housing and communal services (ЖКХ).

JSC "Vodokanal" is responsible for water supply and sanitation services, and they often collaborate with various service providers, property managers (UK), and contractors. When these organizations fail to adhere to contractual terms—for example, neglecting infrastructure maintenance, improper waste management, or financial mismanagement—the consequences can be significant.

Common issues include: - Failure to maintain pipes, pumps, or treatment facilities - Delayed or improper repairs - Mismanagement of funds for infrastructure upgrades - Inaccurate billing or lack of transparency

Officially, JSC "Vodokanal" may report such issues to regulatory bodies like the local Housing Inspectorate, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, or the prosecutor’s office. They may also publish quarterly or annual reports on their website, in local media, or through public meetings.

However, publicly naming specific organizations is uncommon in Russia without due legal process, due to potential reputational and legal risks. Instead, these cases are often referred to authorities for investigation. If systemic violations are identified, local news or official press releases may reference the issues generically (e.g., “several managing companies” or “certain contractors”) without naming names unless legal action is underway.

To obtain a list of organizations identified by JSC "Vodokanal" as systematically violating contract terms, residents can: 1. Check JSC "Vodokanal"’s official website for press releases, reports, or consumer alerts. 2. Review local government portals for enforcement actions or resolutions. 3. Contact the company directly via their consumer hotline or email to request information (ensure you cite your rights under Russian consumer protection laws). 4. Monitor local news outlets such as YSIA (Yakutsk State Information Agency) or SakhaPress for investigative reporting. 5. File a request under the Federal Law “On Providing Access to Information on the Activities of State Bodies and Local Self-Government Bodies” (No. 8-FZ) if JSC "Vodokanal" is fully or partially municipally owned.

If no specific organizations are named, it does not necessarily mean no violations exist. It may reflect ongoing investigations, confidentiality agreements, or legal or political sensitivities.

To address these ongoing issues, JSC "Vodokanal" encourages residents to stay informed, report issues, and advocate collectively for greater accountability. They also recommend consulting local consumer rights NGOs or ombudsmen for support.

In the second quarter, ten organizations, including LLC "Guarant Plus," LLC "Stolichnoe," TSC "Universitetskoe," LLC "Arsenal Plus," LLC "Novator," LLC "Progress," LLC "Zhilishchny Standart," LLC "Domashniy Ocheg," and TSC "Petrovskogo 15," have been identified for systematically violating contract terms. LLC "Guarant Plus" leads the list of organizations with the most negative indicators.

Late payments by managing companies and TSCs can also negatively impact the quality of housing and communal services. It is essential for residents to remain vigilant and proactive in demanding strict adherence to contract terms from organizations managing trusts in Yakutsk.

JSC "Vodokanal" collaborates with various service providers, property managers, and contractors in maintaining the quality of housing and communal services, but the non-adherence to contractual terms by some of these organizations can lead to issues such as financial mismanagement, improper waste management, or delayed repairs. To combat these systemic violations, JSC "Vodokanal" encourages residents to stay informed, report issues, and collectively advocate for greater accountability, especially with organizations like LLC "Guarant Plus," identified as having the most negative indicators for systematically violating contract terms.
