The pressure was raised, the heating temperature increased, but so much snow accumulated that the measures agreed with the manufacturer did not work. It is good that the object was insured, so the losses should be compensated by the insurance company, ”described Vilnius Deputy Mayor Valdas Benkunskas on Facebook.
