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.

The Turansky District is one of the most dynamically developing administrative districts of Shymkent.

Currently, 49 multi-story buildings are equipped with modern lighting systems, making the streets of Turan more welcoming and safer in the evening. The new lighting not only beautifies the area but also helps prevent crime and create a comfortable urban environment. Residential repair and maintenance work also remains a key focus. At the initiative of Turgyn Uy LLC, major renovations are underway in six multi-story buildings in 2025. This includes roof replacement, utility system upgrades, and facade renovations, which directly impact the quality and safety of living. There are 548 apartment buildings in the district, 503 of which are connected to the central heating system , while 45 buildings use independent systems. In preparation for the heating season , a technical inspection of 501 buildings was conducted, resulting in winter readiness certificates . These preventative measures help prevent emergency situations and ensure residents are warm and comfortable during the cold season. Much attention is paid to environmental awareness and cleanliness in the district .

In today's world, environmental issues, rational use of water resources, and the implementation of innovative technologies in the public utilities sector are becoming increasingly important. Kazakhstan is also responding to these trends. A striking example is the Shymkent Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) , which is now rightfully considered one of the most advanced facilities not only in Kazakhstan but also in the CIS countries. The complex was modernized using Polish technology and now demonstrates efficiency comparable to advanced European wastewater treatment systems. Particularly noteworthy is the biogas plant, with a capacity of 4.5 million kWh per year , which runs on wastewater from the treatment plant. The facility is unique in that it is the only such plant in Central Asia. Thanks to this innovative solution, KOS covers up to 50% of its own electricity needs and 100% of its thermal energy needs . Additional electricity is generated by natural gas generators and a small hydroelectric power plant. Together, the company achieves up to 90% of its energy independence , an unprecedented figure for the region's utilities sector. Vodnye Resursy-Marketing, the complex's manager, became the first company in the CIS to implement Hydro Process biotechnology . This technology is aimed at reducing excess sludge and eliminating unpleasant odors, which traditionally pose a serious problem for wastewater treatment plants. The results of the implementation are impressive: up to 95% of excess sludge is eliminated ; the unpleasant smell disappeared, which improved the environmental situation in the area; the need to bury sludge in sludge disposal areas has been eliminated. Thanks to this, the company saves approximately 200 million tenge annually by reducing sludge disposal costs alone. Given the growing burden on public utilities, these results can be considered a strategic achievement. Since 2022, the Burzharsky storage facility, which receives treated wastewater, has been using a unique solution: a chlorella strain developed by the Petropavlovsk Scientific and Technical Center for Water Research. This microalgae performs several functions at once: provides additional purification and disinfection of wastewater; releases oxygen, helping to improve water quality; creates favorable conditions for the development of ichthyofauna. To date, 80,000 juvenile fish of various species have been released into the reservoir's waters, which contributes to the restoration of biodiversity and increases the ecological value of the facility. In addition, treated wastewater is used to irrigate industrial agricultural crops in the Ordabasy district , which helps conserve fresh water for other needs and reduces the burden on natural resources. The economic impact of introducing chlorella is also clear: the company saves approximately 900 million tenge per year , as alternative disinfection methods—ultraviolet irradiation or reverse osmosis—would require much greater financial investment. In addition to technological innovations, Vodnye Resursy-Marketing LLC places special emphasis on landscaping and beautification of the surrounding areas. Thousands of planted trees and shrubs create a green belt around the complex, reducing air pollution and improving the microclimate. This is not just an investment in improvement, but a comprehensive strategy aimed at the harmonious coexistence of engineering structures and the surrounding nature. Thanks to the implemented technologies, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of its operations, the Shymkent Wastewater Treatment Plant can now truly compete with leading European water utilities. While treatment facilities in many countries in the region face challenges with outdated capacity and a lack of funding, the Shymkent experience demonstrates that investing in innovation yields sustainable results. The complex exemplifies how a utility can become energy-independent, environmentally safe, and cost-effective . This is especially important for Kazakhstan, where issues of rational use of water resources and environmental protection are becoming a priority of state policy. The success story of the Shymkent Wastewater Treatment Plant demonstrates that modern technology, competent management, and environmental responsibility can transform even such a conservative sector as wastewater treatment. Today, the enterprise not only ensures a safe and clean urban environment but also sets a new standard for the entire industry in the region. The use of biogas, Hydro Process technology, the use of chlorella, and a focus on environmental sustainability make the complex a unique facility that can serve as a model for other cities in Kazakhstan and the CIS. Thus, it can be confidently stated that the Shymkent Wastewater Treatment Plant is already at the level of the best European water utilities , and in some respects, even surpasses them.

In modern society, the issues of ecology, efficient use of water resources and modernization of the municipal sector are of particular importance. One of the real achievements in this direction in Kazakhstan is the Shymkent City Complex Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWTP) . This facility is considered one of the most advanced complexes not only in Kazakhstan, but also among the CIS countries. The KOS complex was modernized using Polish technology and is now comparable in efficiency to the most advanced European municipal water treatment systems. A special feature is the biogas plant with an annual capacity of 4.5 million kWh . This plant converts waste into energy and is considered the only such system in Central Asia. Thanks to this technology, the KOS self-provides 50% of its electricity and 100% of its heat . Additional electricity is provided by gas generators and a small hydroelectric power station. In general, the complex covers 90% of its electricity through its own production , which is a huge indicator for the utility sector. LLP "Water Resources-Marketing" was the first to introduce the "Ydro Process" biotechnology in the CIS. This technology is aimed at reducing excess sludge and eliminating unpleasant odors. Advantages of the technology: 95% removal of excess sludge ; complete disappearance of unpleasant odor; No need to bury sludge in special areas. This will save about 200 million tenge annually. This figure is an important economic indicator for the utility sector. Starting in 2022 , a chlorella strain developed by the Petropavlovsk Scientific and Technical Center will be used in the Burzhar water reservoir, a reservoir where purified water is stored. Chlorella functions as follows: additional purification and disinfection of treated water; promoting the development of ichthyofauna by releasing oxygen into the water; maintaining biological balance in water. Today, 80,000 young fish of various species have been released into the reservoir. In addition, the purified water is used to irrigate technical agricultural crops in the Ordabasyn district. Chlorella technology saves approximately 900 million tenge annually , as other disinfection methods, such as ultraviolet irradiation or reverse osmosis, are much more expensive. LLP "Su Resursy-Marketing" is not limited only to technological innovations, but also pays special attention to green areas and landscaping . Thousands of seedlings and shrubs are planted near the complex, improving air quality and creating a microclimate. This is not just an aesthetic appearance, but a manifestation of the complex's harmonious functioning with nature. The technologies and experience used have brought the Shymkent WWTP to a level comparable to the most advanced European water treatment systems . While in other countries, municipal facilities face problems due to old equipment and financial shortages, the Shymkent experience proves that sustainable results can be achieved by investing in innovation. The complex, being energy independent, environmentally safe, and economically efficient , can serve as a model for other cities in Kazakhstan. Shymkent Municipal Urban Development Center has achieved tangible results in maintaining a clean urban environment, efficient use of water resources, and environmental protection. The biogas plant, "Ydro Process" technology, chlorella strain, and the development of green zones make the complex a unique and internationally competitive facility . Thus, the Shymkent city wastewater treatment plant can compete with the best European water treatment systems today, and in some areas even surpass them. These achievements not only improve the environmental situation of the city, but also demonstrate an example of innovative management and the use of technology in the municipal sector.

Senbilik is one of such simple and effective steps. As part of the Senbilik, the city was divided into several zones, and each institution, organization, and volunteer group began to clean up its own area. Garbage was collected and taken to special places. The streets and yards, cleared of plastic bottles, glass containers, and household waste, took on a new look. In addition, work was carried out in green areas to plant trees, trim bushes, and tidy up flower beds. The youth activism is particularly noteworthy. University and college students showed their initiative, helped the elderly, and began cleaning public places. This is a clear demonstration of the growing love for nature among the younger generation. The large-scale participation of city residents in the Sabbilik demonstrates the level of civic responsibility in society. It was often possible to meet residents on the streets of the city with their families. Children, together with their parents, carried bags in their hands and collected garbage. Such actions, in addition to setting an example for the younger generation, are one of the most effective ways to teach them to love nature. As a result of the Sabbath, not only were the city streets clean and tidy, but also the maintenance of green spaces was carried out. Among the collected garbage, there were also materials suitable for recycling. This contributes to the development of environmental culture and the formation of skills in sorting household waste. According to environmental experts, such cleanups are not just a one-day cleanup, they contribute to the formation of a long-term environmental culture. The more the city's residents actively participate in protecting the environment, the more the appearance of our common home - our city - will improve significantly. Shymkent is developing rapidly every day. With the population growing and construction work increasing, it is especially important to pay attention to cleanliness and order. Creating a comfortable environment is the duty of not only state institutions, but also every citizen. The "Clean Kazakhstan" Saturday proved this idea with concrete action. The city's residents came together, at least for a day, and contributed to a common cause. It was a vivid example of cooperation and unity. The work carried out during the weekend has enhanced the beauty of the city. Cleaned yards, manicured flower beds, and landscaped areas have lifted the spirits of residents and created an aesthetic impression. Such measures will have a long-term positive impact on the city's appearance. The city administration plans to hold such clean-ups regularly in the future, as systematically organized clean-up campaigns will improve the ecological situation of the city and increase environmental responsibility among residents. The city-wide "Clean Kazakhstan" Saturday, held on September 27, 2025, was not just a one-time event, but a major step towards increasing the environmental culture of city residents. During this event, not only the amount of garbage collected decreased, but also people's attitude towards nature changed. Senbilik reminded us that keeping our common home - our city - clean is the responsibility of every citizen. Only through joint efforts can we leave a clean and comfortable city for future generations.

Shymkent has been actively developing in recent years, strengthening its status as the country's third largest city. One of the city's key policy priorities has been improving its architectural appearance and creating comfortable living conditions for residents. In this context, new modern public gardens have appeared in the Otyrar microdistrict on Taskuduk Street, at the intersection of Ryskulova Avenue and Adyrbekova Street. These public gardens have already become a popular recreational spot for residents. These green spaces have quickly become a comfortable place to stroll, relax with family, let children play outdoors, and simply enjoy the beauty of nature amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The new squares were designed in line with modern landscape design trends. Ornamental trees and various flowers have been planted here, giving the area a vibrant and well-maintained appearance. For the convenience of visitors, pedestrian paths have been laid, comfortable benches have been installed, and small play areas for children have been set up. Previously, this site contained vacant land, unused. Now, it has been transformed into green spaces that bring joy to residents and enhance the neighborhood's architectural landscape. In today's hectic city life, it's especially important to have recreational areas where people can escape the hustle and bustle. For the elderly, the new parks have become a safe and peaceful place to stroll, and for children, a playground where they can play without unnecessary restrictions. Residents of the neighborhood note that the addition of the parks has significantly improved their quality of life. People have begun taking evening walks more often, taking family outings and meeting with friends in the new green space. Urban greening isn't just about beautifying streets; it's also an important part of environmental stewardship. Trees and flowers purify the air, reduce dust, and provide coolness and shade in the summer. All of this has a positive impact on the health of city residents. In the Turkestan District, where this project is being implemented, landscaping efforts are particularly active. The district administration emphasizes that every tree planted or flower arrangement contributes to the health of residents and the future of the city. The public gardens in the Otyrar microdistrict are part of a broader program to improve Shymkent's architectural appearance. Their modern design blends harmoniously into the urban environment and makes the area more attractive. Such projects not only improve living conditions but also enhance the city's tourist appeal. Visitors increasingly note that Shymkent is becoming beautiful and green, an important indicator of its development. Squares are especially important for the younger generation. Play areas are installed for children, allowing them to spend time productively and joyfully. Young people can gather in green spaces, play sports, or simply relax. These public spaces foster a culture of outdoor recreation among teenagers and foster family traditions. It's becoming increasingly common to see entire families spending their free time in these new parks. However, it's important to understand that caring for these green spaces isn't solely the responsibility of municipal services. Maintaining cleanliness and order is a shared responsibility. Residents must maintain the new parks, avoid breaking trees, avoid littering, and respect the public space. Only through joint efforts can we preserve the beauty and comfort created in the neighborhood for many years to come. City authorities note that improvements and landscaping in Shymkent will continue. New parks, squares, and recreation areas are planned for each district. A number of projects to create eco-friendly and comfortable spaces for residents are already underway. Such initiatives not only help beautify the city but also make it more comfortable to live in. In the future, every family will have a place to walk and relax near their home. The modern public gardens opened in the Otyrar microdistrict at the intersection of Ryskulova Avenue and Adyrbekova Street have become a true highlight of Shymkent. They reflect the city's overall commitment to development, its concern for the environment, and its desire to make life more comfortable for its residents. New green spaces are not only places for recreation but also symbols of concern for the future. Here, children can play, adults can relax, and the elderly can take leisurely strolls. All of this contributes to improved health, conservation, and the development of a culture of respect for the environment. Thus, the squares in the Otyrar microdistrict are not just a landscaping project, but an important step toward creating a modern, green, and comfortable metropolis.

Shymkent has been developing rapidly in recent years, becoming the third largest metropolis in the country every day. Many projects are being implemented to improve the architectural image of the city and create comfortable living conditions for residents. One of them is the new modern flower beds that have been built on Taskuduk Street in the Otrar microdistrict, at the intersection of Ryskulov Avenue and Adyrbekov Street. This green area is becoming a special place for city residents to walk, relax, and for children to play. Such projects are aimed at developing landscaping in the metropolis and improving the ecology of the city. The newly opened flower gardens are decorated with ornamental trees, colorful flowers, and modern landscape design. Each green area is decorated with unique art. Convenient pedestrian lanes, small playgrounds for children, and benches for residents to relax have been installed. Another advantage of this flower garden is that it effectively uses vacant land along the street. Instead of the previously dusty and gray area, an attractive green area has appeared, bringing joy to the city's residents. In the hustle and bustle of city life, people need places to relax and take a walk in the fresh air. New flower gardens are filling this need. Especially for children and the elderly, such green areas are a healthy and safe place to relax. Local residents are delighted with the opening of the new flower garden. They say that this initiative will not only beautify the area, but also teach young people to love nature and protect greenery. Urban greening is not only necessary for aesthetic purposes, but also for maintaining ecological balance. Green spaces reduce dust, improve air quality, relieve heat in the summer months, and create comfortable conditions for residents. The ongoing landscaping work in the Turan district is making a significant contribution to improving the ecological situation in the city. Each planted tree and flower is not only a guarantee of beauty, but also a guarantee of health. New flower gardens are enhancing the architectural appearance of Shymkent and giving it a unique look. Modernly designed recreation areas increase the city's tourist appeal. For visitors to the city, such green areas are an indicator of the culture and development of the metropolis. There is no doubt that many more such flower beds and parks will be built in Shymkent in the future, creating comfortable conditions for the city's residents. The new flower gardens have become not only a place to relax, but also a space where young people and children can spend their free time effectively. Children can play on the playgrounds, and parents can relax. This is an ideal place for family walks. In addition, conditions for sports are being created in such areas. Some flower gardens have open spaces, contributing to the formation of an active lifestyle for young people. Maintaining new green areas is not only the responsibility of municipal services, but also of every resident. Keeping flower beds clean of garbage, not breaking greenery, not plucking flowers is a manifestation of simple culture. The city authorities urge residents to maintain order in public places. Only then can the benefits of such projects be seen for many years. Greening work is continuing in Shymkent. Every year, new parks and flower beds are being built, and existing ones are being renovated. In this direction, the city administration is adopting special programs and making efforts to improve the quality of life of residents. In the future, it is expected that more such recreation centers will open in every district and every microdistrict. These initiatives will contribute to improving the city's ecology, strengthening the health of the population, and improving the overall quality of life. New modern flower beds opened on Taskuduk Street in the Otrar microdistrict are a clear indication that the city of Shymkent is becoming more beautiful and creating conditions for a comfortable life for its residents. These green areas are an ideal place for city residents to spend their free time, for children to play and laugh, for the elderly to walk. In addition, such projects create a culture of respect for nature in society. New flower beds are not just for fashion, but above all, a guarantee of health and peace, a good legacy for future generations .

The problem of stray animals has become one of the most pressing issues for large cities in recent years. Shymkent is also facing this situation. Stray dogs are often seen on the city streets, causing concern among residents. However, the city has now adopted a humane and civilized approach : starting in 2025, animals will be returned to the wild after being processed by the city's animal control service. This approach aims to simultaneously maintain public safety and protect the animals. Every animal that passes through the capture service undergoes mandatory veterinary procedures: Sterilization prevents uncontrolled reproduction of dogs and helps to gradually reduce their numbers. Rabies vaccination protects people from potential diseases and reduces the risk of spreading dangerous infections. Microchipping allows you to keep track of animals and, if necessary, trace their fate. To help residents identify treated animals, special blue, green, or red earrings are attached to their ears. This signifies that the dog has passed the program, poses no danger, and can be safely kept in the city. Previously, the practice involved the mass capture and destruction of dogs, which drew condemnation from society and animal rights organizations. Today, the priority is to reduce the number of stray animals through humane methods . Similar programs are successfully operating in many countries. In Turkey, Romania, and Georgia, animals are returned to their natural habitats after sterilization and vaccination. Over the past few years, the number of dogs on the streets has naturally decreased, and the level of animal aggression has dropped significantly. It's important to understand that the main reason for the emergence of homeless animals is the irresponsibility of the people themselves . Owners often fail to spay or neuter their pets, and the resulting puppies are abandoned on the streets. As a result, an entire population of stray dogs develops. City residents are reminded: Pet owners are required to control their breeding. It is unacceptable to abandon puppies or adult dogs on the street – this is not only an act of cruelty, but also an administrative offense. It is forbidden to show aggression and cruelty towards homeless animals. Thus, only through the joint efforts of the authorities and society can the situation be radically changed. Local authorities and police actively support the initiative, conducting public awareness campaigns. The attitude toward animals has always been considered an indicator of a society's level of culture and humaneness . Schools and colleges across the city offer special lessons on the importance of caring for animals and being kind to them. Volunteers and animal rights activists organize charity events, help shelters, and provide temporary shelter for animals. Shymkent authorities have issued important clarifications to the public: If you see a dog with an earring on its ear on the street, don’t be afraid, it’s a safe animal. You should not throw stones at dogs or hurt them, as such actions provoke aggression. If you encounter an injured or weakened dog, you should report it to the city veterinary service. Tolerance, understanding, and goodwill among residents will help make the city comfortable and safe for everyone. The humane stray dog management program in Shymkent is an important step toward building a civilized and safe city. It combines animal rights protection with public safety. With a responsible approach from the public and efficient work by city services, positive results can be expected in the coming years. The reduction in the number of stray dogs will occur gradually and without cruelty. It is important to remember that a society that shows compassion to animals can truly be considered developed and humane .
