Night operation of the generator at Janickiego Street

We ask for your understanding of any inconveniences related to the night operation of the generator in the area of Janickiego Street. We would like to inform you that during the heating of heating pipes, an uninterrupted process of work is necessary. The technology requires the aforementioned continuity of work to ensure the highest quality of workmanship and safety of operation. Thanks to the use of pre-heating, it was possible to partially resign from compensation and reduce the occupancy of green areas.

We make every effort to ensure that the works run smoothly and according to schedule. If everything goes according to plan, the generator will work until tomorrow at the latest.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We are convinced that the final effect in the form of a new tram line to Mistrzejowice will bring many benefits to our community.
