Orașul unde s-a inventat apa caldă la robinete în România. Cum se spălau oamenii fără alimentare centralizată? • Newsweek România

In Romania, the issue of hot water supply has persisted for centuries, with historical references dating back to 1825 when the first public bath with hot water was established in Bucharest. Despite advancements, many residents still rely on traditional methods for heating water. The introduction of natural gas in 1943 marked a significant shift towards centralized heating, yet challenges remain, particularly in older buildings. The current thermal network in Bucharest is extensive but suffers from aging infrastructure, leading to frequent outages. Even today, many residents face interruptions in hot water supply, reminiscent of past practices.
