Every year, on the third Sunday of March, Ukraine celebrates Utility Workers Day and the service workers involved in household maintenance.
On this occasion, the mayor of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov, addressed the utility workers:
Dear utility and service workers!
Today we celebrate your professional holiday – a day dedicated to those whose daily, often unnoticed work, provides comfort and order in our city.
Your dedication, diligence, and responsibility deserve the highest respect. It is because of you that Odessa remains clean, cozy, and a comfortable place to live.
Thank you for your hard work, patience, and professionalism. I wish you good health, warmth in your families, prosperity, and success in all your endeavors!
Before the holiday, the mayor of Odessa awarded honorary distinctions to the best workers of municipal enterprises and labor collectives of the city's utility services.
