The heating utility in Bulgaria's capital Sofia "Toplofikatsiya" announces Tuesday they are ready to provide heat to customers if the latter so desire.

The company has received the long-term forecast of the Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, showing the already unusually cold temperatures for the beginning of October will go down even more by the end of the week.

The temperatures are to return to normal during the second half of the month.

"Toplofikatsiya" reminds day care directors, school principals and the management of hospitals that they need to apply in writing with the utility if they wish to have central heating turned on in advance of the regular schedule.

For tenants and residents of apartment buildings, if they wish to have heat earlier, they need to also apply in writing and the application must have signatures from all households there.

This is done in order to prevent turning on the heat on individual requests without the knowledge and the agreement of other people in the same building.
