The natural gas supply for the heating utilities in Sofia, Pleven, Bourgas and Vratsa is going to be gradually reduced beginning September 1, 2008 due to the above companies' unpaid debts, according to the company supplier "Bulgargaz."

The supplier data shows that the heating utilities in those four cities now owe a total of over BGN 235 M.

"Bulgargaz" further reminds that a month ago they have informed in writing their debtors as well as the governors and the mayors of the four cities that a reduction in the natural gas supply was forthcoming. Despite that, the heating utilities have not undertaken any measures to repay the owed amounts.

The heating utilities such as those in Varna and Rousse, who have paid their bills regularly would not encounter any problems with the supply of natural gas, the supplier further confirmed.
