Overview
- Ewag had warned it would suspend district heating and hot water for blocks in Kamenz Ost starting 24 September because of outstanding receivables.
- The supplier cited significant unpaid claims from Kamenz Immobilien GmbH and referenced its legal right to withhold service.
- At a weekend meeting with residents, ewag CEO Torsten Pfuhl said supply will remain secured beyond 24 September, including hot water.
- The mayor demanded that Kamenz Immobilien immediately forward tenants' heating prepayments to ewag to settle the arrears.
- More than 100 concerned tenants contacted the city, and officials say the situation remains contingent on the landlord addressing the debt as cooler weather approaches.
