PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, June 29 (Itar-Tass) - The Kamchatskenergo electricity company has restricted electricity supply to the water intake facility of the city of Yelizovo, the second biggest city on the Kamchatka Peninsula, company sources told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.

No restrictions have been introduced as of yet to facilities ensuring water supply for the population of the city, but measures can be tightened as debts of the water intake facility have exceeded 51 million roubles.

The electricity company has offered the administration a scheme of debt payment, but no money has been paid so far. It will be impossible to solve the problem without the help of the local budget. However, at the present moment the regional administration has no money to help the debtor financially. That means electricity restrictions will continue, the sources stressed.
