On October 3, 2025, the traditional "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign continued in the Karatau district. The event was actively attended by the Deputy Executive Secretary of the Shymkent city branch of the "AMANAT" party, Yerbol Baikonysov, city and district party workers, youth and volunteers, as well as specialists from the municipal service. Together, everyone contributed to the improvement of the city's territory. During the campaign, cleaning work was carried out on the city streets and sports grounds. Participants collected the collected garbage and put in order the places along the streets, public areas, parks and sports areas. Special equipment and containers for collecting waste were used, which increased the efficiency of the work. The activity of volunteers and young people was especially noticeable. They did not limit themselves to collecting garbage, but also promoted environmental culture among residents and called on them to take care of nature. The main goal of the campaign is to improve the ecological situation of the city, increase the responsibility of residents towards nature, and create environmental awareness in society through joint events. By actively participating in such events, young people and volunteers instill a culture of environmental protection and contribute to making the city cleaner and more attractive. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 39 “Clean Thursday” campaigns have been organized in Shymkent. As part of these campaigns, more than 37 tons of household waste were removed from the city. This indicator indicates the increasing environmental responsibility of city residents. Such campaigns are held regularly in each district of the city, making public places cleaner and more attractive. According to the participants, the campaign was aimed not only at cleaning and beautifying the area, but also at creating an ecological culture in society. Volunteers gave residents advice on how to properly sort garbage, recycle waste, and avoid polluting nature. In addition, special talks and practical lessons were organized for children and adolescents, which increased their interest in nature protection. The AMANAT party plans to hold the campaign regularly and continue initiatives aimed at keeping the city clean. Party representatives called on residents and guests of the city to actively participate in the common cause, emphasizing that environmental responsibility is the duty of everyone. They also noted that the cleanliness and beautification of public places in the city depend not only on state institutions, but also on the personal responsibility of each resident. During the campaign, special attention was paid to the improvement of public places. These are sidewalks, squares, parks and children's playgrounds along the roads. All garbage containers were inspected and, if necessary, new ones were installed. In addition to landscaping, tree planting and flower bed maintenance activities were also carried out. These activities enhance the beauty of the city and contribute to the residents living in a clean and safe environment. The participants of the action shared their experiences and made recommendations for increasing environmental awareness. They noted that it is necessary to pay attention to the cleanliness of public places not only temporarily, but also on a permanent basis. In addition, it was noted that it is important to introduce environmental education programs in schools and universities, and instill a culture of environmental protection in young people. The city administration and the AMANAT party are making efforts to foster environmental responsibility in society by holding such events. Each event strengthens the desire of residents to keep their city clean and contributes to the development of an ecological culture in society. In conclusion, the "Clean Thursday" campaign held on October 3, 2025 in the Karatau district was an important initiative aimed not only at cleaning and improving the territory, but also at forming an ecological culture, increasing the responsibility of residents towards nature, and increasing the activity of youth and volunteers. 39 campaigns carried out since the beginning of the year and more than 37 tons of garbage removed are a clear indicator that environmental activities are being carried out regularly in the city. In the future, the AMANAT party and the city administration will continue to organize such campaigns on a regular basis in order to raise environmental awareness, calling on residents to keep the city clean. Considering that the cleanliness of city streets and public places is the shared responsibility of every resident and every guest, residents and volunteers are invited to actively participate in these initiatives.

On October 3, 2025, a large-scale environmental campaign was held in Shymkent as part of the "Birgemiz Taza Alem" project and the nationwide "Taza Kazakhstan" movement. Hundreds of young volunteers, university and college students, and schoolchildren, as well as representatives of public organizations, participated in the event. The main goal of the campaign was to keep the city clean, improve the environmental situation, and instill in young people a responsible attitude toward the environment. From early morning, participants took to the city streets to clean the courtyards of apartment buildings, playgrounds, green spaces, alleys, and pedestrian paths. Particular attention was paid to common areas and areas where trash had accumulated. Work was carried out simultaneously in all four districts of the city: Yenbekshinsky, Karatau, Al-Farabiysky, and Abaysky. Before the event, volunteers were given gloves, trash bags, and the necessary equipment. All participants received safety instructions. Municipal service employees also joined the cleanup, providing specialized equipment for waste removal. By the end of the day, over 30 tons of household and construction waste had been collected and removed, transporting it to designated landfills. The coordinators of the "Birgemiz Taza Alem" project noted that the event was more than just a sanitation measure, but an important step toward fostering environmental awareness among young people. Each participant understood that keeping the city clean and well-maintained is not only the responsibility of public utilities but also the responsibility of every resident. Volunteers sorted the collected waste, separating plastic, glass, and paper for recycling. This element of the campaign is particularly important, as it promotes the culture of separate waste collection, which is gradually being implemented in Kazakhstan. The head of the city youth resource center, speaking to the participants, emphasized: "These events aren't just about cleaning up the neighborhood. They're a call to action. We want to remind every resident that a clean city starts in their own backyard. If everyone takes care of their surroundings, Shymkent will truly become a green and modern metropolis." City administration representatives, entrepreneurs, and private company employees also joined the environmental campaign. They, along with volunteers, took part in cleaning the streets and parks. Afterward, participants were given informational brochures on the proper disposal of household waste and the dangers of environmental pollution. Residents of apartment buildings also actively participated. Many came out to help the volunteers, and some provided water and refreshments to the participants. This created an atmosphere of unity and mutual support, reminding everyone that a clean city is the result of the joint efforts of all its residents. After the cleanup was completed, small flower beds and gardens were created in several courtyards. Volunteers planted tree saplings and ornamental plants. This initiative symbolized a concern for the future—that environmental protection requires not only cleanup but also creative action. Representatives from the city's Department of Ecology noted that such events make a significant contribution to improving the environmental situation in the region. They explained to participants the basic principles of sustainable development, the importance of reducing the use of single-use plastic, and the need to conserve natural resources. Shymkent, as one of the country's most dynamically developing cities, is actively implementing modern approaches to waste management and environmental protection. In recent years, the city has implemented dozens of initiatives to improve its environment, plant greenery, and reduce air pollution. The "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign is part of this broader effort aimed at fostering environmental awareness and civic responsibility. At the end of the event, all participants received letters of gratitude and souvenirs. The organizers noted that the youth's active participation was inspiring and demonstrated that the new generation is ready not only to talk about environmental issues but also to address them themselves. The "Birgemiz Taza Alem" project is part of a national volunteer program spanning all regions of Kazakhstan. It aims to develop a culture of volunteerism, engage young people in socially significant initiatives, and promote environmental responsibility. In Shymkent, the project has received widespread support, becoming one of the most popular volunteer activities. What made the event unique was that the youth not only cleaned up trash but also engaged in educational outreach. Volunteers spoke to passersby about the need to sort waste, conserve water, and respect green spaces. These mini-dialogues helped many residents reflect on their own habits and responsibility to nature. City residents expressed gratitude to the young participants. They said such initiatives help unite the community, set a positive example, and raise environmental awareness. Many noted that thanks to the volunteers' efforts, the city has become cleaner, more comfortable, and more pleasant to live in. The organizers promised that similar events would be held regularly. Plans include holding autumn and spring cleanup days, landscaping new neighborhoods, and installing waste separation containers. Furthermore, the idea of creating a city "Eco-School" for volunteers, where they could learn modern environmental management techniques, is being discussed. Thus, the environmental campaign held on October 3rd was more than just a cleanup, but a true celebration of unity, good deeds, and caring for their hometown. It demonstrated that Shymkent's youth are active, conscientious, and ready to act for the benefit of the environment. If initiatives like these continue to develop, Shymkent will rightfully be called the greenest and cleanest city in Kazakhstan , and the Birgemiz Taza Alem movement will become a symbol of the eco-consciousness of a new generation.

On October 3, 2025, a large-scale clean-up was held in Shymkent as part of the “Birgemiz Taza Alem” project and the “Taza Kazakhstan” environmental campaign. The event was actively attended by the city's youth, members of the volunteer movement, students of educational institutions and schoolchildren. The main goal is to clean up the city, form an ecological culture, and increase the responsibility of residents for the environment. During the campaign, young volunteers cleaned the courtyards of multi-storey residential buildings, children's playgrounds, pedestrian paths, green areas and parks. Special working groups were formed in each district of the city, which, together with residents, organized cleaning activities. Cleaning work began simultaneously in Enbekshi, Al-Farabi, Karatau and Abay districts. Volunteers collected garbage, sorted household waste, and collected recyclables separately. This initiative is considered an important step from an environmental perspective, as the issue of developing a culture of waste recycling is currently receiving special attention in Kazakhstan. As the coordinators of the "Birgemiz Taza Alem" project note, such events make a great contribution to the formation of environmental awareness among young people. Because each participant not only contributes to the cleanliness of their hometown with their work, but also learns to be more careful about the environment. Volunteers participating in the campaign were provided with special gloves and garbage bags. They were also given safety instructions. During the cleanup, more than 30 tons of household and construction waste were collected and transported to special landfills. The head of the city's youth resource center emphasized the importance of this event and highly appreciated the activity of young people: — Today's environmental campaign is not just a cleaning operation, it is an appeal to society. We want to remind every resident that they have a responsibility for the cleanliness and appearance of their city. If everyone starts from their own yard, from their own street, Shymkent will truly become a green and clean city, — he said. The Clean Kazakhstan campaign is a sustainable environmental initiative that is being implemented throughout the country. The main goal of this project is to protect nature, promote environmental culture, and actively involve residents in environmental protection. Shymkent is a leader in this direction. In recent years, the city has implemented a number of effective projects in the field of landscaping, water purification, and household waste management. Representatives of the Shymkent city administration also participated in the Sabbath and set an example for young people. Together with them, entrepreneurs and employees of various organizations carried out cleaning work in every corner of the city. The administration distributed explanatory leaflets on maintaining cleanliness and proper sorting of household waste. During the campaign, some residents also worked with volunteers in their yards. Such joint actions increased the sense of mutual assistance and shared responsibility in the community. After the Sabbath ended, children's play areas and small flower beds were created in the yards of apartment buildings, and trees were planted. According to the volunteers, such events are becoming an important part of environmental education and upbringing. Because young people are not limited to just collecting garbage, they understand the broader meaning of environmental protection. They noted that keeping nature clean is a duty to future generations. Specialists from the Shymkent city ecology department also participated in the event and provided advice on improving the environmental situation. They explained to residents how to properly separate household waste and recycle plastic and glass. They also paid attention to the issue of preventing water sources from being polluted and protecting greenery. At the end of the event, all participants were awarded letters of appreciation and souvenirs. The organizers expressed their gratitude for the youth's activity and said that such initiatives will continue in the future. The "Birgemiz Taza Alem" project is being implemented in many regions of Kazakhstan. It is a national program aimed at developing youth volunteerism and increasing environmental responsibility. Shymkent youth, as one of the active participants in this project, are setting an example for the country. Also, through this event, volunteers not only clean up the city, but also promote the ideas of environmental protection and form an ecological culture among residents. Such initiatives increase the environmental awareness of society and change the attitude of each citizen towards nature. Residents of Shymkent highly appreciated the campaign and expressed their support for more frequent such clean-up events. According to residents, the activity of young people is a sign of confidence in the future. Because only a generation with environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility can truly make their city and country prosperous. Thus, the “Birgemiz Taza Alem” and “Taza Kazakhstan” campaigns held on October 3 once again demonstrated the activity, organization, and love of Shymkent youth for their native city. This initiative will undoubtedly continue in the future and give impetus to the development of environmental culture in all regions of the country.

On October 3, 2025, officers from the Shymkent City Police Department, specifically the Yenbekshinsky District Police Department, conducted another inspection of stores, retail outlets, slaughterhouses, and private farms located within the district. The primary goal of these measures was to prevent the sale of substandard and unsafe meat products, as well as to ensure compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements and storage regulations for animal products. Ensuring food security and protecting public health are now priorities not only for the police but also for local authorities. As part of interagency cooperation, representatives of the veterinary control department, sanitary service personnel, and specialists from the district akimat participated in the raids. The inspections were conducted with particular attention to documents confirming the origin and quality of the meat. During the inspection, 18 retail outlets selling meat products and five private farms where livestock were slaughtered were inspected. Inspectors identified a number of violations. Some businesses failed to provide veterinary certificates confirming the legal origin of the meat and its suitability for consumption. Some retailers stored their products without observing temperature standards, which could lead to rapid spoilage and pose a health risk to customers. Following the raid, administrative charges were filed against six retail outlets whose owners failed to provide veterinary documents. These charges have been submitted to the relevant authorities for review under Article 406 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses— "Violation of Veterinary Rules." This article provides for fines and, in the case of repeated violations, temporary suspension of the business. Police officers emphasized that every entrepreneur is obligated to comply with sanitary and veterinary regulations. A veterinary certificate is not just a formality, but a document confirming that the meat has been inspected, is free of infections, and is safe for consumption. During the raid, special attention was paid not only to retail outlets but also to slaughterhouses. In several yards, inspectors discovered instances of illegal slaughter of livestock without proper conditions. Such practices pose a risk of spreading infectious diseases among both animals and people. Police and veterinarians reminded residents that livestock slaughter should only be carried out in specially equipped facilities that comply with all sanitary requirements. Representatives of the Yenbekshinsky District Police Department held preventative talks with business owners, explaining that failure to comply with meat trade regulations not only damages a business's reputation but can also lead to serious consequences, including life-threatening consequences for consumers. Store owners were reminded of the need to have a full set of documents: a veterinary certificate, a laboratory safety report, and invoices confirming the origin of the meat. Police also urged city residents to exercise caution when purchasing meat products. Residents are advised to request documentation from sellers confirming the quality and origin of the product. Purchasing meat at spontaneous markets or from unauthorized sellers can be dangerous, as it is impossible to guarantee the product's safety. The Shymkent Police Department press service noted that such raids will be conducted on a regular basis. Their goal is not to punish entrepreneurs, but to prevent potential violations and ensure that the public receives only high-quality and safe food products. "We don't aim to close stores or disrupt business," the police spokesman noted. "The main thing is that sanitary requirements are observed and that every vendor has all the necessary documents. This is in the best interests of the residents themselves, because it's about people's health." It's worth noting that such inspections are especially relevant in the lead-up to holidays, when demand for meat products traditionally increases. It's during this period that unscrupulous sellers often appear on the market, attempting to sell substandard goods. Police warn that violations of veterinary regulations are subject to administrative penalties. Repeated violations may result in the suspension of the retail outlet's operations, and the confiscation and destruction of merchandise. During the raid, employees also checked the sanitary condition of counters, refrigeration equipment, and the presence of labels and expiration dates on products. In some cases, inspectors found non-compliance with storage conditions—meat was stored at temperatures above the permissible limit, and some products were missing packaging. On-site, the businesses were given specific instructions to correct the violations. Veterinary officials noted that in recent years, cases of meat being sold without inspection, especially from private farms, have become more frequent. In such cases, it is impossible to determine whether the animal has undergone veterinary inspection, meaning there is a risk of exposure to dangerous infections, including brucellosis or anthrax. The leadership of the Yenbekshi police department emphasized that protecting public health is its number one priority. "We will continue to conduct such inspections regularly. Our goal is not only to identify violations but also to foster a culture of responsibility among entrepreneurs for the quality of the goods they sell," the department representative stated. Finally, police called on city residents to exercise civic responsibility: if citizens notice instances of illegal meat trade, they can report it to the nearest police station or by calling 102. Thanks to the joint efforts of the police, veterinary services, and local authorities in Shymkent, conditions are being created to ensure that only tested and safe products are sold on store shelves. This ensures the health of city residents and demonstrates the responsible attitude of businesses towards their customers.

On October 3, 2025, officers of the Enbekshi District Police Department of the Shymkent City Police Department conducted a planned raid on shops and retail outlets selling meat products, as well as slaughterhouses and private farms located in the district. The main goal of this event is to prevent the sale of low-quality and illegally traded meat products that may pose a threat to the health of the population, as well as to monitor compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements. Currently, ensuring food safety for the city's population is the main focus of the police and local executive bodies. To this end, Enbekshy district police officers, together with the veterinary control department and representatives of the local akimat, conducted a comprehensive inspection of meat products. During the inspection, a total of 18 retail outlets and 5 individual farms selling meat products were inspected. As it turned out, some entrepreneurs and sellers did not comply with sanitary and hygienic requirements during slaughtering and storing meat. In addition, some of the meat products did not have the appropriate veterinary certificates and certificates . The absence of such documents raises doubts about the legality of the product and its safety. As a result, administrative cases were compiled against the owners of 6 trading establishments that failed to provide veterinary certificates and were sent to the authorized bodies for taking appropriate measures under Article 406 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan . According to this article, the sale and storage of livestock products without veterinary documents is considered a violation of the law and provides for fines or temporary suspension of activities. During the inspection, police officers reminded entrepreneurs of the need to strictly comply with sanitary requirements and veterinary regulations. Since meat products are the main food consumed by residents every day, their quality and safety are important factors that directly affect the health of city residents. Violations detected during the raid were recorded not only in trading places, but also in private yards. Some residents slaughtered animals in undesignated places, that is, in conditions that do not meet sanitary requirements, and then offered the products for sale. Such actions increase the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Therefore, police officers and veterinary specialists explained that slaughtering animals should be carried out only at specially authorized stations . The Enbekshy District Police Department issued a special appeal to city residents and business owners to comply with the law. It recommended that each consumer obtain a veterinary certificate before purchasing meat products, check the origin of the product, and check the storage conditions. As the management of the department noted, such inspections will continue regularly in the future. This is because low-quality and illegally imported meat products pose a serious threat to public health. Ensuring the sanitary safety of the population, as well as maintaining order in the food market, is one of the main tasks of law enforcement agencies. In addition, police representatives provided entrepreneurs with explanations and advice on how to prevent violations and engage in honest business. It was noted that all documents for the sale of meat products, including a veterinary certificate, laboratory results, and documents confirming the place of origin of the product, are mandatory. According to the press service of the Shymkent City Police Department, such raids are aimed at protecting the health of residents and increasing responsibility for food quality. Especially considering the increased demand for meat on the eve of the upcoming holidays, it is especially important to monitor the quality of products on the market. In conclusion, the Enbekshi District Police Department called on residents and businessmen to comply with the law and announced that work to ensure public health and safety will continue. According to the police, similar preventive measures will be carried out in other districts of the city. Today, the food market of Shymkent is developing rapidly, but compliance with quality and safety requirements is a shared responsibility of all parties. Therefore, the police, veterinary services, and representatives of the akimat will continue to work together to increase consumer confidence and prevent infectious diseases. Thanks to such comprehensive measures, city residents will have the opportunity to consume high-quality and safe meat products. The main thing is that every citizen should not be indifferent to their own health and the safety of those around them.

In conclusion , the introduction of digital technologies is a new era in water management. Kazakhstan is making confident steps in this direction. And this seminar, which took place in Shymkent, was a clear proof of the fact that the country's water sector is being raised to a new level.

On October 2, 2025, during a working visit to Shymkent, Deputy Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhannat Dubirova visited one of the country's largest water supply and sanitation companies, Su Resurstary Marketing LLC . The company is rightfully considered one of the best not only in Kazakhstan but also in the entire Central Asian region, demonstrating a high level of digitalization and automation in the public utilities sector. During the visit, the Vice Minister was given a detailed overview of the company's technological processes, management system, and new digital solutions. Thanks to the implementation of modern technologies, the company has achieved significant improvements in the efficiency and quality of its services. Today, all production and transport processes at the plant are almost completely automated . Water intake, distribution, and purification are managed in real time using digital systems. Automatic systems monitor water pressure, flow rates, drainage and collector networks , and wastewater treatment processes. All data is transmitted to the control center, where it is analyzed and, if necessary, immediate management decisions are made. The company actively uses a geographic information system (GIS) and hydraulic modeling . These technologies allow for accurate monitoring of network conditions, prompt response to emergencies, and repair planning. Hydraulic modeling, in turn, helps optimize pressure, reduce water loss, and lower operating costs. According to Zhanat Dubirova, such solutions not only improve system reliability but also provide a new level of customer service. Digitalization makes enterprise operations transparent, fast, and secure, eliminating human error. One of the company's key development areas is the transition to a unified SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) platform . This system will integrate all local automated control units into a single network. SCADA will enable full control of the water supply and treatment process, monitoring equipment status, anticipating potential malfunctions, and proactively performing maintenance. The Vice Minister noted that this project is already underway, and once completed, Shymkent's water management system will reach a qualitatively new level. This will improve efficiency, reduce water losses, and make process control entirely digital. During her visit, Zhanat Dubirova also learned about the multifunctional automatic water analyzer used at the facility. This device can determine the quality of drinking and wastewater in just 30 minutes based on four key indicators: COD, phosphates, ammonia, and nitrites . Previously, such analyses took several hours, and sometimes even days, but now the company can quickly obtain accurate results, allowing it to immediately respond to potential deviations and prevent contamination. The use of such equipment was made possible by the implementation of new digital technologies in the company's laboratory system. This enabled continuous and highly accurate water monitoring. Su Resurstary – Marketing is not only a modern enterprise but also a model of environmental responsibility . It operates a biogas plant that processes waste and generates electricity. Thanks to this, the company covers up to 50% of its electricity needs and 100% of its thermal energy needs . In addition, the company has implemented the innovative "Hydro Process" biotechnology , which eliminates excess sludge and unpleasant odors. As a result, sludge volumes have been reduced by 95%, completely eliminating the need for landfilling. This technology delivers significant economic benefits, with annual savings of approximately 200 million tenge . The company's experience has already been recognized as successful and recommended for implementation at other water management companies across the country. At the end of her working visit, Zhanat Dubirova praised the work of Su Resurstary Marketing LLC. She stated that the company exemplifies best practices , demonstrating how digitalization can effectively transform traditional engineering systems. The Vice Minister emphasized that the Ministry of Industry and Construction plans to develop cooperation with the enterprise to expand its successful digitalization experience to other regions of Kazakhstan. This collaboration will accelerate the modernization of public utility infrastructure, improve the reliability of water supply and sanitation, and strengthen the industry's environmental sustainability. As Zhanat Dubirova noted, water management today plays a crucial role in ensuring the country's sustainable development. In the context of climate change and increasing urbanization, issues of effective water resource management are becoming a priority. Shymkent-based company "Su Resources – Marketing" demonstrates that the effective implementation of digital solutions not only improves service quality but also significantly reduces costs while ensuring environmental safety. In the future, similar systems are planned to be implemented in other major cities of Kazakhstan. This will create a unified water resource management network, where every process—from water collection to treatment—will be under complete digital control. The Vice Minister of Industry and Construction's working visit demonstrated that Shymkent is one of the country's leaders in the digitalization of the utilities sector .

Today, this enterprise is considered one of the best examples in the country and Central Asia in the digitalization and automation of water supply and drainage systems. During the working visit, the Vice Minister was presented with a comprehensive overview of the enterprise's production processes, management systems, and modern technological solutions. In recent years, the company "Water Resources - Marketing" has introduced a fully automated water system , making a significant contribution to increasing the efficiency of the industry. The processes of water production, distribution and treatment at the enterprise are almost completely automated . Equipment and pumping stations at all facilities are connected to a centralized digital control system. This is an important step that reduces the influence of the human factor and increases the reliability of the system. For example, remote pressure regulation , accurate calculation of water consumption , management of drainage and collector systems , as well as wastewater treatment processes are monitored online using special software. Data received from each facility is processed in real time and transmitted to the dispatch center. In addition, the company is effectively using geographic information systems (GIS) and hydraulic modeling . GIS has created a detailed map of water pipes, sewer networks and engineering infrastructure, which has increased the ability to make quick decisions in emergency situations. And the hydraulic modeling system helps to regulate water pressure and flow in the network, reducing costs. As Zhannat Dubirova noted, such technologies not only increase efficiency, but also raise the quality of service to a new level. As a result of digitalization, water quality control has been strengthened and the ability to prevent accidents has increased. Currently, one of the main goals of the enterprise is to integrate all local automated systems into a single SKADA platform . This is an important project that will allow the industry to move to a qualitatively new stage of management. The SKADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system allows for complete control of the water production and distribution process, accurate monitoring of equipment status, and prevention of technical failures. According to the Vice Minister, concrete work is underway in this direction. When the project is fully implemented, the efficiency of water management in Shymkent will significantly increase, and the system will allow for making decisions based on real data. During the working visit, Zhannat Dubirova also got acquainted with the enterprise's modern multi-channel water analyzer . This device can determine the quality of drinking water and wastewater in just 30 minutes by four main parameters - COD, phosphate, ammonia, and nitrite levels . This innovative technology allows enterprises to quickly and accurately determine the quality of water. Previously, such analyses took several hours or even days, but now accurate results can be obtained within half an hour. The company "Water Resources - Marketing" is not limited to automation, but is developing environmental and economic efficiency at the same time. The enterprise operates biogas production facilities, with the help of which more than 50% of electricity and 100% of thermal energy are produced independently. In addition, the "Ydro Process" biotechnology was used to remove excess sediment and unpleasant odors. This method allows the enterprise to save hundreds of millions of tenge annually. This experience is now being offered as a model for other regions. At the end of the visit, Vice Minister Zhannat Dubirova highly appreciated the work of "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP, noting that the company's experience will serve as an example for other regions of the country. According to him, the ministry plans to work with the enterprise in the future to disseminate automation and digitalization practices in the industry. This, in turn, will contribute to the effective management of Kazakhstan's water resources and ensure environmental sustainability.

A large-scale environmental project aimed at improving the quality of industrial wastewater treatment is being implemented in Shymkent. One of the key stages of this project is the implementation of an automated wastewater monitoring system , which provides 24/7 monitoring of its composition and quality. This is a significant step toward modernizing the city's infrastructure and protecting the environment. The project included the installation of two automatic analyzers designed to continuously measure BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), pH, and the content of petroleum products and heavy metals in wastewater. These devices are capable of recording changes in parameters in real time, allowing for the immediate detection of any deviations from established standards. In addition, preparations are nearing completion for the commissioning of a monitoring station and automated wastewater analysis system . These facilities will be located at industrial sites and in industrial zones where wastewater volumes are particularly high. They will allow monitoring of water resources not only after treatment but also during discharge from the plants. The monitoring system is integrated into the overall management network, enabling automatic transmission of data on recorded violations to multiple recipients: the wastewater operator, relevant government agencies, and the company that exceeded permissible pollutant concentrations. This will enable a prompt response to any incidents, minimizing environmental damage and preventing potential emergencies. The new system is being implemented with the participation of the testing laboratory of Su Resurstary-Marketing LLC , whose specialists conduct comprehensive water quality testing. The laboratory has already commissioned an automatic multifunctional water analyzer designed for rapid wastewater analysis based on four key parameters: COD, phosphate, ammonia, and nitrite levels. This equipment allows for reliable data to be obtained in minutes, a process that previously took several hours. Data collected from the analyzers is accumulated in a single system and processed using specialized software. This ensures high measurement accuracy and transparent water resource monitoring processes . Monitoring results are automatically stored in a database, enabling the generation of monthly, quarterly, and annual reports for each industrial facility. Furthermore, the system allows for monitoring pollution trends , identifying problem areas and facilities where maximum permissible limits are most frequently exceeded. Based on this information, preventative measures and recommendations for facilities are developed to reduce pollution and optimize technological processes. One of the main advantages of automated monitoring is its independence from human error . Thanks to the high sensitivity of the sensors and the 24/7 operation of the equipment, the likelihood of measurement error is minimized. This increases the trust in the monitoring data among regulatory authorities, scientific institutions, and the public. The project has a long-term perspective. In accordance with the National Project for the Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors of Kazakhstan , fully automated drinking and wastewater analysis is planned for 2029. This will create a unified national monitoring system covering all regions of the country. As part of this project, the network of automated stations will be expanded, ensuring full coverage of all industrial enterprises and utilities. In addition to the environmental benefits, the implementation of such technologies also has economic benefits. Automated analytical processes reduce laboratory testing costs , increase data processing speed, and alleviate staff strain. This will ultimately lead to lower costs for wastewater disposal and treatment services and improve management efficiency. Special attention is being paid to training specialists capable of operating the new systems. Employees of utility companies and enterprises undergo specialized training in instrument calibration, data interpretation, and response to system signals . This will ensure the smooth operation of the equipment and prompt action when contamination is detected. Environmentalists note that the implementation of automated monitoring will be a powerful tool in the fight to keep water resources clean. The system will significantly reduce unauthorized discharges, improve the quality of water bodies, and reduce the load on treatment facilities. This will ultimately lead to improved environmental conditions in Shymkent and the region as a whole . Thus, the automated industrial wastewater monitoring system is not just a technological innovation, but a strategic step toward sustainable development. It combines modern technology, environmental responsibility, and cost effectiveness, making Shymkent a leader in smart environmental solutions. Infrastructure upgrades, equipment modernization, and the introduction of innovative analytical methods all reflect the city's systematic approach to addressing environmental issues. And the results of this work are already visible: wastewater quality is improving, businesses are becoming more responsible, and the city is cleaner and more comfortable to live in.

In order to ensure environmental safety and efficient use of water resources , an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is being introduced in Shymkent. This is the first modern project being implemented in Kazakhstan, the purpose of which is to continuously monitor the composition of wastewater from industrial enterprises around the clock and prevent harmful effects on the environment. This system allows you to determine the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) , COD (chemical oxygen demand) , pH level , as well as the amount of petroleum products and heavy metals in wastewater. These indicators are considered one of the most important parameters in assessing the level of water pollution. During the project implementation, two units of automatic analyzers , one monitoring station , and an automatic wastewater analysis unit are being installed. These devices collect and analyze data in real time and can immediately detect any deviations from the norm. Once the system is fully operational, all monitoring processes will be fully automated . The data obtained using special software will be automatically sent to the server of the water disposal operator, as well as to the relevant government agencies and enterprises that have committed violations . This will increase the transparency of environmental control and strengthen responsibility in the use of water resources. Previously, such analyzes were carried out manually or by laboratory methods, which required a lot of time and human resources. Now, thanks to an automated system, the results are accurate, fast, and without the influence of the human factor. In addition, another advantage of the system is the ability to operate continuously around the clock . This, in turn, paves the way for more accurate and consistent testing of wastewater quality from industrial facilities. Automatic analyzers and monitoring stations will be installed in industrial zones and large industrial enterprises in Shymkent . This is an important step towards reducing the environmental impact of industrial production sources. It is known that wastewater contains a high content of harmful substances, especially in industrial plants in the metallurgical, chemical and oil refining industries. Therefore, the introduction of a control system in such enterprises will make a significant contribution to ensuring environmental sustainability. With the help of a monitoring system, each enterprise will be able to clearly see the environmental indicators of its activities and ensure that it does not exceed the limits established by law. This, in turn, will prevent fines and increase corporate responsibility for environmental protection. An important component of the project is the work of the testing laboratory of Water Resources-Marketing LLP (SR-M) . The laboratory is currently commissioning an automatic multi-channel water quality analyzer for rapid determination of water quality. This device can quickly determine four key indicators in wastewater: Chemical oxygen demand (COD) Presence of phosphates Amount of ammonia Presence of nitrites These types of analysis are of particular importance in assessing the ecological quality of water. These indicators allow for an accurate assessment of the level of organic and inorganic pollution of water. Specialists of the laboratory of "SR-M" LLP monitor the quality of wastewater around the clock using an automatic system. This contributes to improving the overall ecological situation in the city and improving the quality of life of residents. As part of the national project for the modernization of the energy and utilities sectors of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is planned to fully automate water quality analysis in all large and medium-sized cities in the country by 2029. This initiative aims to raise environmental safety to a new level by digitizing the analysis of drinking water and wastewater . That is, the process of monitoring water quality will be carried out without human intervention, only through automatic sensors and intelligent programs. This approach will allow for early detection of water quality degradation and prevention of pollution. In addition, the collected data will be included in the national environmental database and will be available in an open format. This will ensure transparency of environmental monitoring and strengthen public confidence in nature protection. The introduction of an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is not only a technical innovation, but also a social step aimed at creating an environmental culture . Today, every enterprise must be responsible for the environmental safety of its production. Through the monitoring system, enterprises not only become objects of control, but also increase their responsibility and strive to comply with environmental standards. In addition, the introduction of automated systems will allow young specialists to gain modern knowledge and experience in the environmental field. This will give a new impetus to the development of environmental engineering, water treatment, and environmental protection in our country. The introduction of an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is a new milestone in the environmental policy of the city of Shymkent and the country. This project plays an important role in environmental protection and is fully consistent with the strategy of environmentally sustainable development of Kazakhstan. The installation of automatic analyzers and monitoring stations in urban industrial zones will make a significant contribution to pollution prevention, rational use of water resources, and the formation of a culture of compliance with environmental legislation. This system, which will be implemented by 2029, will radically modernize the country's environmental monitoring sector and become an effective tool for maintaining the balance between nature and production . Environmental safety is the guarantee of the country's future. And an automatic control system is a real mechanism for that safety.

The Shymkent Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWP) is rightfully considered one of the most modern not only in Kazakhstan but also in the entire CIS. It was completely modernized using cutting-edge Polish technology, bringing the water treatment system to a new level of quality and environmental safety. Today, SWP is a high-tech facility that ensures efficient wastewater treatment, efficient energy use, and environmental stewardship. The complex's key feature is its only biogas plant in Central Asia , with a capacity of 4.5 million kW per year . It covers up to 50% of its electricity needs and 100% of its thermal energy needs . Additional energy is provided by gas generators and a mini-hydroelectric power plant. Overall, thanks to its own electricity generation, the complex is nearly 90% self-sufficient in energy, an outstanding result for a utility company. This autonomy makes the Shymkent wastewater treatment plant an example of not only environmental but also economic success. With energy prices rising, the use of renewable energy has become a strategically important step toward sustainable development. The company "Su Resources - Marketing" (LLP "Water Resources - Marketing") was the first in the CIS to introduce the innovative biotechnology "Hydro Process" , aimed at reducing excess sludge and eliminating unpleasant odors. Previously, wastewater was removed and buried in special landfills, which required significant financial and land resources. Now, biological technology allows organic waste to be processed naturally, using specialized microorganisms. The results are impressive: up to 95% of excess sludge is eliminated , unpleasant odors have completely disappeared, and the need for sludge treatment beds has been eliminated. Furthermore, thanks to the implementation of this technology, the company saves approximately 200 million tenge annually. Hydro Process has proven its effectiveness not only financially but also environmentally. It makes the water purification process environmentally friendly, eliminating the use of chemical reagents. Thus, Shymkent has become the first city in the region to use clean biological methods for wastewater treatment . Since 2022, treated wastewater has been sent to the Börzhar Reservoir , where a unique strain of chlorella developed by the Petropavlovsk Scientific and Technical Center is used for additional biological treatment. Chlorella is a microalgae that not only purifies water of residual pollutants but also oxygenates it. This creates favorable conditions for the development of aquatic organisms and restores the natural balance of the ecosystem. The use of chlorella allowed for biological disinfection of the water without the use of chemicals. Around 80,000 juvenile fish of various species were released into the reservoir, promoting the development of ichthyofauna and strengthening the region's natural ecosystem. In addition to its environmental benefits, the technology also provides significant savings—approximately 900 million tenge per year . This is because traditional disinfection methods, such as ultraviolet irradiation or reverse osmosis, require expensive equipment and ongoing maintenance costs. Using chlorella, on the other hand, is a natural and cost-effective solution: the algae reproduce on their own and continuously purify the water without harming the environment. One of the strengths of the Shymkent wastewater treatment plant is its intelligent use of alternative energy sources . A biogas plant, hydroelectric power station, and energy-saving technologies allow the facility not only to be energy independent but also to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. All equipment is controlled by automated monitoring systems that monitor water quality, the efficiency of biological processes, and energy consumption. This complies with international ISO environmental standards and contributes to increased reliability and transparency of the plant's operations. Su Resurstary – Marketing doesn't limit itself to technical innovations; the company actively fosters environmental awareness among its employees and the public. Every year, the company organizes greening campaigns, planting thousands of trees and shrubs on its premises and throughout the city. Green spaces reduce dust and carbon dioxide levels, increase air humidity, and make the industrial zone more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the company regularly conducts environmental training sessions aimed at increasing employee responsibility for environmental protection. Thanks to these efforts, Shymkent is becoming an increasingly cleaner and more comfortable city to live in. Today, wastewater treatment plants play not only a technological but also an educational role , shaping residents' understanding of the importance of rational use of natural resources. The technologies used—a biogas plant, biological digestion, and the use of chlorella—make the Shymkent wastewater treatment plant a model of sustainable development and environmental thinking . Each of these systems operates in harmony with nature, converting waste into energy and wastewater into a reusable resource. Thanks to this, purified water from the TNK is used in the Ordabasy district for irrigating agricultural crops , which reduces the load on freshwater sources and helps farmers during the dry season. Thus, the project not only solves environmental problems, but also contributes to the development of the region’s economy by ensuring the rational use of water and energy. The Shymkent wastewater treatment plant complex is a shining example of how modern technologies can benefit both people and nature. The facility has proven that innovation and environmental protection can go hand in hand , creating a sustainable and efficient resource management model. The introduction of biogas and biotechnological solutions has significantly reduced costs, reduced harmful emissions, and improved the quality of life of the population. Today, Su Resources Marketing is not just a public utility, but a center for environmental innovation that sets new standards for the entire water treatment industry in Kazakhstan and the CIS. Shymkent's wastewater treatment facilities are deservedly considered the pride of the country , an example of the prudent use of natural resources, and a true pillar of support for a sustainable, green future.

The Shymkent City Water Treatment Complex (SWTC) is today recognized as one of the best environmental and engineering facilities not only in Kazakhstan, but also in the entire CIS. This facility has been completely modernized based on modern Polish technology and brought to a new level. As a result, the complex has not only significantly improved the quality of water treatment, but also achieved high energy efficiency and environmental efficiency. The main feature of the complex is the operation of a biogas plant, which is unparalleled in Central Asia. With an annual capacity of 4.5 million kW , this provides approximately 50 percent of the TSK's own electricity needs. And the need for thermal energy is 100 percent covered by this system. Additional energy is produced by natural gas-powered generators and a small hydroelectric power station. Thus, in general, the complex is self-sufficient in up to 90 percent of its energy consumption. This is a great achievement from an environmental and economic point of view. Such a high level of energy saving is rare not only in Kazakhstan, but also in neighboring countries. That is why the Shymkent wastewater treatment plant is now being recognized internationally as an exemplary project that combines environmental sustainability and innovation. "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP was one of the first in the CIS to introduce the "Ydro Process" biotechnology to reduce excess sludge and eliminate unpleasant odors. This technology eliminates the harmful effects on the environment by biologically processing waste, rather than using the traditional method of collecting and decomposing it in sludge fields. Today, this innovation has fully proven its effectiveness. As a result , 95 percent of excess sludge was removed , and the unpleasant odor completely disappeared. If earlier it required a lot of money and land resources to bury waste in landfills, now this need has completely disappeared. Such an achievement allows the enterprise to save about 200 million tenge annually. In addition, the "Ydro Process" technology does not harm the environment, as it neutralizes organic waste with the help of natural microorganisms. This method is considered an environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative in the field of water treatment. Starting in 2022, treated wastewater from the WWTP will be discharged to the Borzhar water reservoir . A chlorella strain developed by the Petropavlovsk Scientific and Technical Center will be used here to improve water quality. Chlorella is a micro-algae that naturally purifies water and improves aquatic ecosystems by releasing oxygen. With its help, purified wastewater undergoes an additional biological filter , where microorganisms and harmful substances are neutralized. In addition, chlorella, by releasing oxygen, creates conditions for the development of ichthyofauna , that is, the reproduction of fish and other aquatic creatures. Today , more than 80 thousand fish fry have been released into the Borzhar reservoir. This makes a significant contribution to the restoration of the natural ecosystem and the preservation of the biological balance of the water body. Chlorella technology is also highly cost-effective. Thanks to it, the enterprise saves about 900 million tenge annually, since traditional disinfection methods - ultraviolet radiation or reverse osmosis - require expensive equipment and constant maintenance. Chlorella is a natural and cost-effective solution. It reproduces on its own and continuously improves water quality. Thus, the company maintains environmental sustainability by efficiently using nature's own resources. Another pride of the Shymkent treatment facilities is the rational use of alternative energy sources. The energy produced with the help of biogas and hydroelectric power plants not only fully provides the complex itself, but in some cases even produces excess capacity. This is fully consistent with the country's strategy of transition to a "green economy". Automated control systems installed at the WWTP constantly monitor water quality, biological process efficiency, and energy consumption. This management approach meets international standards and is aimed at improving the quality of service. The activities of "Su Resoursy - Marketing" LLP are not only an engineering achievement, but also a manifestation of environmental culture. The company contributes to improving the quality of the city's air by planting thousands of trees and shrubs every year. Trees and lawns planted on the territory of the complex absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which improves the overall ecological situation of the city. In addition, special programs and trainings are held among the enterprise's employees aimed at increasing environmental responsibility. Thus, the Shymkent wastewater treatment complex is a unique project that combines engineering innovation and environmental awareness. Here, the concepts of cleanliness, energy saving, and environmental protection converge in one goal. Today, Shymkent TPP is a symbol of environmental sustainability and technological development. Its success lies in its ability to combine scientific innovation with practical experience. The biogas plant, the "Ydro Process" biotechnology, and the chlorella-based natural purification system are all real examples of efficient use of water resources, energy conservation, and environmental protection. Through its activities, Water Resources – Marketing LLP has become an example for the development of the country's environmental policy, the spread of green technologies, and the prudent use of natural resources. This project is an environmental achievement not only for the city of Shymkent, but for all of Kazakhstan.

My neighbors and I come out here for a walk every morning. Children play, young people relax, and we simply enjoy the peace and quiet." According to representatives of the akimat, the new flower garden is not only a beautification feature but also an important environmental project . Green spaces reduce air pollution, dampen noise, and create a favorable microclimate. This is especially important for densely populated areas where green space is scarce. Furthermore, the landscaped area promotes environmental awareness and a responsible attitude toward nature . Residents are encouraged to protect plants, avoid littering, and maintain cleanliness. A dedicated maintenance team is responsible for the flower garden, cleaning, watering, and pruning the plants daily. For security, the park area is equipped with video cameras , and security guards are on duty in the evenings. The project is part of the larger "Green Shymkent" city program, which will see over 120,000 square meters of land be landscaped in the Turansky District in 2025 alone. This includes tree planting, lawn creation, flower arrangements, and courtyard improvements. The Akimat noted that similar projects are planned for other parts of the district—on Konaeva, Tauke Khan, and Yntymak Streets. Modern flower beds, recreation areas, and walking paths will also be built there in the future. Particular attention is paid to involving local residents and volunteers in the greening process. For example, schoolchildren, students, and simply concerned residents of the area participated in planting trees and flowers on Gagarin Street. This helps young people feel a sense of personal responsibility for the environment and instills in them a respect for work and nature. Local authorities are convinced that the success of the improvements depends largely on the residents themselves. Therefore, they constantly remind everyone to take care of the existing structures. After all, preserving the cleanliness and beauty of the area can only be achieved through joint efforts.

Today, city cleanliness is not only an indicator of culture and respect for the environment, but also a factor directly impacting the health and quality of life of the population. This is why the Yenbekshinsky District places special emphasis on this area. There are approximately 270 public transport stops in the district, each of which undergoes scheduled sanitization at least twice a week. This work is performed using specialized equipment— water trucks and high-pressure cleaners —that effectively remove dust, dirt, and street debris from metal and glass surfaces. Before washing, the surrounding area is cleaned, removing trash and leaves. Then, the bus shelters are washed, wiped down, and treated with antiseptics. This is especially important during the fall and winter, when the risk of infection increases. Representatives of INTEKO GROUP LLC note that during the summer season, bus stops are washed three times a week , and twice a week during the fall and spring. During the winter, regardless of weather conditions, snow and ice removal is also carried out at bus stops, and de-icing agents are used when necessary. An equally important area is cleaning the drainage channels , which ensure the uninterrupted drainage of rainwater and meltwater. Regular cleaning helps prevent flooding of streets and courtyards and maintain the road surface in good condition. Since the beginning of 2025 , more than 118 kilometers of irrigation ditches and drainage systems have been cleared in the Yenbekshinsky District. Of these, 38 kilometers were cleared manually , the rest using specialized vacuum equipment . In total , approximately 700 tons of silt, dirt, and household waste were removed during this period. Eight pieces of specialized equipment and more than 40 employees are deployed daily to carry out these works, beginning at 7:00 a.m. and finishing by 7:00 p.m. All work is carried out in strict accordance with the schedule and under the supervision of the district akimat. Representatives of INTEKO GROUP LLC emphasize that these measures are aimed not only at maintaining cleanliness but also at preventing the potential consequences of natural disasters , such as heavy rains or snowfalls. Furthermore, street cleanliness and the proper functioning of drainage systems directly impact road safety. According to the Yenbekshinsky District Akimat, there are 534 streets in the district , most of which are equipped with a drainage system. To ensure the infrastructure operates smoothly, local authorities and contractors work closely together. In addition to cleaning bus stops and ditches, trash cans and containers are also cleaned and disinfected . By 2025, more than 2,300 trash cans were installed on the district's streets, each of which is regularly emptied. Additional containers are also planned for installation in densely populated neighborhoods. Residents of the district also actively participate in community improvement initiatives. Together with municipal services, they participate in cleanup days and environmental campaigns under the slogans "A Clean District—A Clean City!" and "Let's Keep It Clean Together!" As part of these initiatives, residents help clean up trash, whitewash trees, and improve courtyards. Thanks to this systematic work, the appearance of the area has noticeably improved . While previously dirty bus stops and puddles could be seen after rain, most streets are now much cleaner. According to residents, washing bus stops and cleaning ditches has yielded noticeable results—during precipitation, water now drains quickly, preventing it from accumulating on the roads. The Yenbekshinsky District Akimat urges residents to maintain cleanliness, not to litter inappropriately, and to take care of city infrastructure . After all, a clean and well-maintained city begins with each of us. A representative of INTEKO GROUP LLC noted: "Our goal is not just to clean up trash, but to create a comfortable and safe urban environment. We strive to ensure that every bus stop and every street meets modern standards of cleanliness and amenities." The company and the Akimat plan to expand the scope of their work . An additional 15 kilometers of drainage systems are planned for the near future, as well as the repair and replacement of approximately 50 old bus stop shelters . In addition, new street cleaning technologies will be introduced in the future, including curb washing, pressure cleaning of pedestrian paths, and the use of environmentally friendly cleaning solutions and wastewater collection systems. All this will make the Yenbekshinsky District even cleaner, safer, and more comfortable for residents and visitors. Improvement and sanitation work is not just a technical task, but part of a larger program to improve the quality of urban life . Clean streets, well-maintained bus stops, and functioning drainage systems are indicators of a city's development, care for people, and respect for the environment. INTEKO GROUP LLC and the Yenbekshinsky District Akimat will continue their systematic efforts to maintain cleanliness and order, as a clean district is essential for the health, safety, and well-being of every Shymkent resident .

A number of complex works are being carried out in the Enbekshi district of Shymkent to maintain public order, strengthen sanitation, and create a comfortable environment for residents. Jointly organized by the district akimat and "GROUP INTEKO" Limited Liability Partnership, work is ongoing to wash public transport stops, clean water cisterns, and improve the sanitary condition of streets . Maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of the city is a common responsibility not only of municipal services, but also of the city's residents. Therefore, work in this direction is carried out systematically in the Enbekshi district and is showing tangible results. There are currently about 270 public transport stops in the district. All of them are washed at least twice a week according to the schedule, cleaned of dust, advertising stickers and other contaminants . Specially equipped water trucks and pressurized water sprayers are used to wash the stops. During the work, garbage and debris around the bus stop are first collected, then metal and glass surfaces are washed and wiped. Many bus stops are also disinfected, which is aimed at ensuring the health and safety of residents. According to specialists from "GRUPPPA INTEKO" LLP, washing operations are carried out three times a week in the summer, and twice a week in the autumn and spring . In the winter, work will continue to clear stops of snow and ice, and use de-icing equipment. In addition, regular cleaning of drainage channels (drainage systems) is being carried out in the district. The main goal of this work is to ensure the free flow of water during rainfall and prevent water from accumulating on the streets. Since the beginning of 2025 , a total of 118 kilometers of ditch systems have been cleaned in the Enbekshy district. Of these , 38 kilometers were cleaned manually , and the rest were cleaned using special vacuum equipment . About 700 tons of sludge and household waste collected during the cleaning process were taken to special landfills. "GRUPP INTEKO" LLP currently deploys 8 special equipment and more than 40 workers every day . They work on the streets of the city from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. According to company representatives, such work is important not only for maintaining cleanliness, but also for preventing flooding , ensuring traffic safety , and improving the beauty of the city . According to the Enbekshy District Akimat, there are a total of 534 streets in the district , most of which are connected to sewerage systems. The Akimat and the contractor are working together to ensure the uninterrupted operation of this infrastructure. In addition, in addition to cleaning, measures are also being taken to wash and disinfect garbage cans and waste bins . This year alone , more than 2,300 waste bins have been installed on city streets , all of which are regularly cleaned. Residents of the district are also actively involved in this good cause. In order to promote a culture of cleanliness, environmental campaigns such as "Clean district - clean city!" and "Let's be clean together!" are regularly organized, with the participation of volunteers and youth organizations. Local residents say that the cleanliness of bus stops and streets has improved significantly in recent months. Bus stops are rarely as dusty and dirty as they used to be. In addition, as a result of cleaning the trays, the number of cases of water accumulation during rainfall has decreased. The Enbekshy District Akimat calls on city residents to contribute to the culture of cleanliness, not to litter and not to damage bus stops . After all, the beauty of the city is our common responsibility. "We strive not only to ensure cleanliness, but also to create a comfortable, safe and aesthetically attractive environment for residents. Washing bus stops and cleaning drainage systems is an important part of the overall urban ecosystem," says the head of the production department of INTEKO GROUP LLP. In the future, the company and the district akimat plan to expand the scope of these works. In particular, it is planned to wash roadsides, clean street lights, spray pedestrian paths with water, and use special solutions to combat dust . Upgrading an additional 15 kilometers of ditch system and repairing or replacing about 50 old bus stops by the end of 2025 are also on the agenda. In general, cleaning work in the Enbekshi district is not just a municipal task, but a key indicator of the sustainable development of the city and improving the quality of life of residents . If every resident of the city contributes to maintaining cleanliness and order, Shymkent will undoubtedly become a truly green, clean, and comfortable metropolis . The Enbekshy District Akimat and "GROUP INTEKO" LLP will continue to work steadily to create a comfortable, environmentally friendly and attractive environment for residents.
