An unusual phenomenon is observed by residents of Kostanay. In a summer cottage in one of the wells hot water gushed. This has never happened before, local residents say. The water in the well has always been cold, and now you can take bath procedures!
The Stoyanov family has been living in the Michurinets dacha community for five years. But we have never heard that from a well, which is more than 40 years old, instead of ice water was hot. They noticed the anomaly a week ago.
NATALIA STOYANOVA, owner of the suburban area:
- There was steam from the well. I think the temperature on our street is not so cold, so that warmth comes from the well. Began to dial - the bucket is warm.
AIZHAN UTEVOVA, correspondent:
- Summer residents put forward several versions of the reasons for the incident. One of them is a breakthrough in heating systems. The second is more exotic for the Kostanay region. People assume that a hot underground spring has clogged.

The version with a breakthrough in heating networks was immediately denied by the Kostanay heat and power company.
SALTANAT KASENOVA, Public Relations Manager, KTEK State Enterprise:
- No breakthrough can occur there for one simple reason - our pipes are not there. Well, and the second, no less important reason is, in principle, the lack of hot water in the city of Kostanay until September 10 due to repair work by Kaztransgazaymak.
In addition to the penetration of geothermal underground sources, water could become hot due to chemical reactions as a result of decomposition of plants, tectonic shifts and contact of water with various substances. Experts will find out what the phenomenon is observed by Kostanay summer residents. The water from the well has already been transferred for analysis. And until its results are ready, people are afraid to drink water from a hot well.
