In addition, fallen leaves were collected and lawns and sidewalks cleared of household waste. Throughout the day, volunteers worked in areas pre-assigned by the organizers. This allowed for a larger area to be covered and the participants' efforts to be utilized most effectively. The organizers of the event noted that such events not only help improve the city's appearance but also raise residents' environmental awareness. Participants were able to see the results of their efforts immediately: clean streets, tidy courtyards, green spaces, and litter-free ditches. For many, this served as an incentive to continue maintaining their neighborhoods even after the official event concluded. Volunteers also noted that teamwork brings people together and fosters a sense of community. Young people actively learned from the older generation, while pensioners shared their knowledge about caring for nature and keeping the city clean. Thus, the campaign not only addresses the practical challenges of cleaning the area but also serves an educational function, instilling in participants a respect for the environment. The city's public utilities provided logistical support for the event, including equipment delivery, waste removal, and participant safety monitoring. All work was carried out in compliance with sanitary standards, which not only improved the city's appearance but also enhanced the sanitary and hygienic conditions of public spaces. The "Clean Thursday" event in the Turansky District demonstrated that the combined efforts of residents, activists, and city services can significantly improve the city's condition in a short period of time. Participants noted that such events foster a habit of caring for cleanliness and order, as well as create a favorable atmosphere for communication and collaboration. Beyond the practical benefits, participating in the campaign also has a social impact. Connecting with neighbors, working together, and helping clean up create a sense of community and strengthen community ties. Such campaigns become an important element of urban culture, instilling in people the habit of caring for their neighborhood and the city as a whole. Following the event, all participants received words of gratitude from the organizers and the opportunity to share their impressions of the work accomplished. Many noted that participating in the campaign gave them a sense of personal significance, pride in their city, and a desire to continue to promote cleanliness in their everyday lives.

The city's municipal services provided logistical support for the event: delivering equipment, removing garbage, and ensuring the safety of participants. All work was carried out in accordance with sanitary requirements, which allowed improving the sanitary and hygienic conditions of the city. The "Clean Thursday" campaign became a model not only for the Turan district, but also for the entire city. The unity of participants, the cleaning of public spaces, and the cooperation of people among themselves - all this had a positive impact on the life of the city. This event taught residents to be responsible for a clean environment, helped to maintain their own district, and put neighboring territories in order. In addition, the campaign has a great social value. Working with neighbors, cleaning up the environment together, creates a sense of community among people. Such events become part of urban culture and teach people to develop a sense of responsibility for their territory and the city. At the end of the event, the organizers thanked the participants and gave them the opportunity to share their experiences. Many residents noted that seeing the results of their work increased their pride in their cities and that they were ready to continue to maintain cleanliness in the future.

700 million tenge spent on restoring the irrigation network in Shymkent 05.11.2025
In 2025, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network in Shymkent. These funds were used to build a new irrigation ditch system in all districts of the metropolis, as well as to clean and strengthen existing canals and riverbeds. The main goal of the project is to improve urban infrastructure, provide residents with clean water, and prevent potential flooding. A new irrigation ditch system was built in all districts of the city. Work was carried out on 60 streets, improving water supply, increasing the efficiency of the irrigation network, and reducing the risk of water shortages for residents. The new irrigation ditch system ensures more efficient water distribution and allows for the most efficient use of water resources. A total of 28 kilometers of new irrigation ditches were laid. These ditches provide water to residential areas, private homes, and agricultural land. Concurrently, work was carried out to clean and strengthen old canals and riverbeds. Thoroughly cleaning the canals and strengthening the banks ensures the free flow of water, prevents flooding, and creates safe conditions for residents. Rolan Ibragimov, Head of the Shymkent Passenger Transport and Roads Department, noted the importance of the new project: "Our task now is to encircle these irrigation ditch systems or install special caissons. This will allow district administrations to efficiently drain water using water tankers in the future. In some areas, it's impossible to redirect the water elsewhere, as all the areas are already built on," he said. According to Ibragimov, the new irrigation canal system will address flooding and ensure an efficient water supply for city residents. The use of new canals makes the irrigation system more manageable and allows for the efficient use of water resources. Furthermore, the new canals provide irrigation for agricultural land and facilitate the development of urban infrastructure. The irrigation ditch restoration work included not only the construction of new canals but also the thorough cleaning and strengthening of existing channels. The canals were cleared of debris and vegetation, increasing their capacity and reducing the risk of flooding. Strengthening the banks and beds of the canals ensures the longevity of the irrigation network and prevents erosion, which could damage infrastructure and flood residential areas. Modern technologies were used in the design and construction of the new system. This increased the strength of the ditches, improving the system's efficiency and ensuring its long-term operation. The new ditches enable more efficient water management, directing water to the required areas and reducing water loss during transportation. The new irrigation ditch system offers numerous benefits to city residents. Firstly, it reduces the risk of flooding; secondly, it makes the water supply system more efficient; thirdly, it facilitates irrigation of agricultural land, which is especially important for farmers and gardeners. Furthermore, the new canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure and improving the quality of life for residents. Rolan Ibragimov emphasized that installing caissons and creating closed irrigation ditch circuits will allow district administrations to effectively utilize water tankers for water delivery in the future. This is especially important in areas where diverting water elsewhere is impossible due to dense development. Ibragimov noted that the new irrigation ditches ensure uniform water distribution throughout the city and enable efficient water use. This is especially important during dry periods, when efficient water management becomes key. The new system minimizes water loss and ensures the needs of all city residents are met. In addition to providing residents with water, the new irrigation ditches help strengthen the city's infrastructure. Reinforced canals and cleaned riverbeds improve safety for residents, reduce the risk of flooding, and improve the city's environmental situation. Furthermore, the new irrigation ditches ensure efficient irrigation of farmland and contribute to the development of local agriculture. The system enables the efficient use of water resources, directing water to the right places, and ensuring an uninterrupted water supply. This is especially important for ensuring the city's vital functions and supporting agricultural production. The new irrigation ditches reduce the risk of water shortages, and the water supply system becomes more manageable and reliable. In summary, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network and constructing a new irrigation ditch system in Shymkent. These projects are aimed at meeting residents' water needs, preventing flooding, and efficiently irrigating agricultural land. The new irrigation ditch and reinforced canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure, stabilizing the environmental situation, and improving the quality of life. In the future, the Shymkent administration and the Department of Passenger Transport and Roads will continue to develop the irrigation ditch system, clean canals, and strengthen riverbeds. These measures are aimed at creating a safe and efficient water supply system, which is one of the most important tasks of the city's infrastructure. Thus, the irrigation network restoration and modernization project became significant for the city, improving water resource management, increasing the safety of residents, and ensuring the sustainable development of urban and agricultural infrastructure.
700 million tenge spent on restoring the irrigation system in Shymkent 05.11.2025
In 2025, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on the restoration of the irrigation network in Shymkent. This money was directed to the construction of a new ditch system in all districts of the metropolis, as well as to the cleaning and strengthening of old canals. These projects, which were carried out with the aim of improving the city's infrastructure and providing residents with clean water, were implemented in a planned manner on a large scale. A new drainage system was built in all districts of the city. The work was carried out on 60 streets, which is aimed at preventing flooding in the city, increasing the efficiency of the irrigation system and reducing water shortages for local residents. The new drainage system has optimized the water supply system and increased the ability to use water efficiently. A total of 28 kilometers of canals were constructed. These canals will improve water supply to residential buildings and private sectors located in various districts of the city. In addition, work was carried out to clean and strengthen old canals and riverbeds. Cleanliness and strength of canals and riverbeds ensure safe water supply to residents, prevent flooding and blockages. Rolan Ibragimov, Head of the Shymkent City Department of Passenger Transport and Highways, noted the importance of the new ditch system: "Our task is to encircle these ditch systems or install special caissons. This will allow district akimats to deliver water to the necessary places with water trucks in the future. In some places, it is impossible to divert water to other places, because houses have been built on all the plots," he said. According to Ibragimov, the new ditch system will allow residents to solve the problems of flooding and water shortage. This system will allow irrigation to be carried out more efficiently, significantly improving the quality of the irrigation network in the city. In addition, the new ditches will help save water resources, provide water to local agricultural areas, and develop urban infrastructure. The canal restoration work was not limited to the construction of new canals. All canals and riverbeds were cleaned, their bottoms and banks were strengthened. This ensures the free flow of water and prevents blockages. In addition, garbage and weeds were removed from the canals, reducing the risk of flooding. These measures are aimed at increasing the safety of residents and improving the environmental situation in the city. The Shymkent City Administration and the Passenger Transport and Highways Department used modern technologies in the design and construction of the new ditch system. This allowed to increase the durability and efficiency of the ditches, as well as to optimize the water supply system in various districts of the city in the future. The new ditches will allow for effective water management, rapid delivery to the places where it is needed, and reduce water shortages. The new canals will provide many benefits for the city's residents. First, this system will help prevent flooding, and second, it will make the water supply system more efficient. Third, it will make it easier to irrigate agricultural land through the canals, which will benefit local farmers and residents. In addition, the new system will help improve the city's infrastructure and improve the quality of life for residents. Rolan Ibragimov once again emphasized the advantages of the ditch system: "By encircling ditches or installing special caissons, we will provide district akimats with the opportunity to deliver water to the necessary places with water transport vehicles. This measure will help prevent water shortages for residents." According to Ibragimov, in some areas it is impossible to divert water to another place, because houses are built on all the plots. Therefore, it is important to properly plan and install the new ditch system. Through the new canals, the water supply system will be more efficient and the water needs of the population will be met. New ditches and canals will help improve construction and engineering infrastructure in all areas of the city. These measures will ensure safe water supply to residents, reduce flooding and improve the environmental situation. In addition, the ditches will provide the opportunity to effectively irrigate local agricultural lands. In conclusion, 700 million tenge was spent on the rehabilitation of the irrigation network and the construction of a new canal system in Shymkent. These works are aimed at satisfying the water needs of the city's residents, preventing flooding, and effectively irrigating agricultural land. The new canals and canals will contribute to improving the city's infrastructure, stabilizing the environmental situation, and improving the quality of life of residents. In the future, the Shymkent City Administration and the Passenger Transport and Highways Department will continue to develop the drainage system, clean and strengthen canals, and make efforts to improve the city's water supply system. These measures are one of the most important projects aimed at creating a safe and efficient infrastructure for the city's residents.
Sewage floods the street: authorities and residents react 05.11.2025
On November 5, 2025, an incident involving sewage spilling onto the street occurred in Shymkent. On a pedestrian walkway along Nazir Törekülov Street, sewage spilled onto the sidewalk, polluting the area and creating an unpleasant odor. The situation raised concerns among residents, as it made sidewalks and street access difficult, and sanitary conditions were unsatisfactory. The appropriate services immediately arrived at the scene to determine the cause of the incident and identify the party at fault.

Not only to carry out construction work in accordance with the law, but also to protect the city's infrastructure, the lives and health of residents is the common duty of every citizen. Preventing illegal construction is the joint responsibility of society, city authorities, and residents.
Strengthening the dam and banks of the Badam River in Shymkent: safety measures and urban infrastructure development 05.11.2025
Work continues in Shymkent to strengthen the dam and banks of the Badam River, one of the city's key waterways. The river flows through several districts of the metropolis, and its course includes areas prone to flooding and landslides. To improve safety for residents and prevent emergencies, city authorities have decided to undertake a comprehensive reconstruction of the dam and strengthen the shoreline. The Badam River has been a source of concern for residents for many years. In the spring, during floods and intense rainfall, the river's water level rises significantly. These conditions increase the risk of flooding for residential buildings, outbuildings, and infrastructure. Such incidents have occurred in the past, highlighting the importance of timely measures to strengthen the dam and banks. According to experts, the dam's reconstruction will significantly increase its strength and resilience to large volumes of water. Once completed, the engineering structures will be able to withstand extreme hydrological loads, reducing the risk of erosion and shoreline destruction even during high floodwater levels. Furthermore, the reinforced dams will become an important element of the city's defense system against natural disasters, including landslides and mudflows. The section where work is being carried out extends over five kilometers. Next year, similar work is planned for another section of the river, located in the Yenbekshinsky District. Thus, dam and bank reinforcement measures will cover key areas of the city most at risk. Mukhamedzhan Seitzhanov, Head of the Department for the Development of a Comfortable Urban Environment, noted that the total length of the Badam River within the city limits is 49 kilometers. Between 2013 and 2017, 9.7 kilometers of the dam in the Al-Farabi district were repaired as part of scheduled maintenance. In accordance with the city akim's instructions, an additional nine kilometers of the riverbed will be improved from 2021 to 2024 as part of the Roadmap. Work will begin along the river in the Abay district in 2025. Particular attention is being paid to including all mudflow- and landslide-prone areas in the city's new general plan. These areas are home to over 1,500 people. Including these areas in the plan will allow for development control and prevent the construction of new residential buildings on potentially hazardous sites. This is an important step in the comprehensive public safety system. Deputy Mayor of Shymkent Sarsen Kuranbek emphasized that 13 landslide-prone zones, covering a total area of 497,000 square meters, have been identified in the city. These zones include 109 facilities, home to 433 people. Additionally, 29 mudflow-prone areas have been identified, covering an area of 933,000 square meters, containing 328 facilities and home to 1,129 people.

AMANAT: A mobile meeting on land issues was held in Shymkent 04.11.2025
In Shymkent, land issues remain among the most pressing topics for city residents. In this regard, the AMANAT party organized a mobile meeting in the 156th microdistrict of the Turansky district. The meeting was initiated by the party control commission and the land commission of the party's Shymkent branch. The event was held on November 4, 2025, based on a collective appeal from residents facing problems in registering land plots for individual housing construction. Residents of the neighborhood reported that for several years they have been unable to build residential buildings on their land. In some cases, residents have already built homes on so-called "red lines," but obtaining architectural planning permits from the Shymkent Department of Architecture and Urban Development has proven impossible. According to the department, these plots are designated as industrial zones under the city's new general plan. Furthermore, some residents expressed concerns about the impact of radiation on human health. Specifically, they raised concerns about the Kazteleradio television tower located nearby. They stated that radiation from the tower could pose a health risk, even though the state land titles clearly state that their intended use is "individual housing construction." These issues became the subject of active discussion at the on-site meeting. Residents also voiced their suggestions on social and infrastructure issues, including building a school in the neighborhood, improving road conditions, providing utilities, and other pressing issues. They emphasized that basic infrastructure is essential for comfortable living in the neighborhood and ensuring the safety of children and adults. The meeting was attended by Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Shymkent City Branch of the AMANAT Party; Kairat Imashev, Head of the Party's Faction in the City Maslikhat; Muftulla Konakbayev and Abzal Zeynetayev, Maslikhat Deputies; members of the Party Control Commission; and representatives of the Department of Architecture and Urban Development, Land Relations, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Control. According to commission representatives, the land issue raised by residents has a long history. The plots were transferred to private ownership during the existence of the South Kazakhstan Region, when they were part of the Sairam District. After the area was incorporated into Shymkent, disagreements with the city's new general plan arose. The plots, previously legally registered, now do not comply with urban development requirements under the new plan, creating problems for their owners. The commission listened carefully to residents, discussed the current situation, and proposed holding an additional on-site meeting with law enforcement agencies to clarify all legal and technical aspects. The next meeting is planned to address specific solutions, including legal land registration and housing construction. Currently, there are approximately 900 land plots in the 156th microdistrict that are in dispute. Of these, construction is already underway on 198 plots. All of these plots were transferred to private ownership during the South Kazakhstan Region, but they currently do not comply with Shymkent's new general plan. This has led to numerous disputes between citizens and the city administration. During the meeting, residents received detailed explanations of the legal aspects of land relations, architectural requirements, and urban planning regulations. The commission emphasized that all decisions will be made strictly within the framework of current legislation. Each case will be considered individually, taking into account all the circumstances. Particular attention was paid to the intended use of land plots and the availability of necessary construction permits. Commission representatives emphasized that all disputes can be resolved subject to compliance with established procedures and legal norms. Citizens were advised that if violations or discrepancies are identified, they must act within the legal framework to avoid further conflicts and problems. The discussion also focused on measures to improve the neighborhood's social and public infrastructure. Residents expressed requests for the construction of a school, access to healthcare and public services, and the development of a road network. Party and administration representatives noted that these issues will be taken into account when planning future events and development of the area. Following the meeting, the commission summarized its preliminary findings and outlined next steps. It was decided to organize an additional on-site meeting, where, with the participation of specialists and law enforcement agencies, all contentious issues would be addressed, specific recommendations would be developed, and solutions would be identified. Residents of the neighborhood expressed satisfaction with the attention paid to their concerns and confidence that issues will be resolved transparently and in accordance with the law. They noted that the AMANAT party's involvement in monitoring and resolving land disputes increases trust in local government bodies and strengthens confidence in the protection of their rights. A field meeting in the 156th microdistrict demonstrated that the AMANAT party continues to engage with residents, monitor compliance with citizens' rights, and resolve land issues within the law. The commission emphasized the importance of openness, transparency, and a systematic approach to resolving land disputes to minimize conflicts and promote regional development. Thus, the on-site meeting was an important step in resolving the land issues of the neighborhood's residents, fostering dialogue between citizens and authorities, and ensuring the legality and transparency of land-related procedures. The party and the commission will continue their work, with additional meetings and events planned to finally resolve contentious issues, improve social infrastructure, and improve the neighborhood's standard of living.
AMANAT: A field meeting was held on the land issue 04.11.2025
Land issues in Shymkent are one of the most pressing topics in the public's attention. In this regard, the Party Control Commission and the Land Commission of the Shymkent city branch of the "AMANAT" party held a field meeting in the 156th block of the Turan district. The meeting was organized on the basis of a collective application from residents and was held on November 4, 2025. This meeting was aimed at resolving disputes related to land issues, answering residents' questions, and making appropriate decisions. The residents of the settlement gathered at the meeting said that they have not been able to build housing on private land plots for several years and presented their problems to the party's control. According to residents, some citizens have built housing in the red zone, but their applications and requests have not yet been considered. For example, the Department of Architecture and Urban Development refuses to issue an architectural and planning assignment (APZ). The department stated that this territory belongs to the industrial zone in accordance with the city's master plan. In addition, residents also argued that radiation waves emitted from the TV tower of Kazteleradio JSC located in the area could harm human health. They noted that the state acts in their possession clearly indicate the intended purpose of the land plots as "private housing construction." This was one of the important factors that caused concern among residents. Residents made several proposals to the akimat at the meeting. Among them, specific proposals were considered, such as building a school in the settlement, solving problems with roads and infrastructure, and improving public utilities. Residents supported their proposals with concrete evidence and reports, demonstrating the seriousness of the problem. The main goal of this meeting was to listen to residents' proposals and find ways to solve them. The meeting was attended by the deputy executive secretary of the Shymkent city branch of the AMANAT party, Yerbol Baikonysov, faction leader Kairat Imashev, maslikhat deputies Muftulla Konakbayev and Abzal Zeynetayev, members of the Party Control Commission, as well as representatives of the Departments of Architecture and Urban Planning, Land Relations, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Control. Responsible specialists explained the history of the land issue to the residents. According to the members of the commission, this problem dates back to the former South Kazakhstan region. At that time, the mentioned lands were transferred to private ownership in the Sairam district. Later, after the city of Shymkent was incorporated, such disagreements arose due to the fact that the land plots did not comply with the new master plan. That is, although the land was legally transferred, it does not comply with the current city plan, which creates difficulties for many citizens. Having listened to the problems of the residents, the commission members proposed to hold an additional field meeting with the involvement of law enforcement agencies. A special meeting will be organized in the coming days to consider specific ways to resolve the problem. This event will allow residents to consider their complaints within the framework of the law, resolve existing disputes, and bring the land issue in the city into order. It should be noted that today the number of land plots in such a controversial situation in the territory of the 156th district is about 900. Of these, 198 plots are under construction. Although these lands were privatized during the South Kazakhstan region, they do not correspond to the new master plan of the modern city of Shymkent. Because of this, some disagreements have arisen between residents and the authorities. During the meeting, residents expressed their opinions on the legality of the land and asked questions related to the issue. The commission members noted the need to consider each case individually and rely on relevant documents and data. They also explained to residents that decisions will be made within the framework of the law, and all procedures will be conducted openly and publicly. The meeting discussed in detail issues such as the intended purpose of land plots, construction permits, and compliance with the city's master plan. The commission members explained the history and legal aspects of the issue to residents, and suggested ways to prevent disputes in the future. They emphasized the need to use all opportunities to consider residents' complaints. Also, the issue of improving social infrastructure was raised based on the proposals of residents. Representatives of the akimat and the party participating in the meeting noted that they take into account the need to develop schools, medical centers, roads and utilities in the settlement. This measure is aimed at improving the quality of daily life of residents. At the end of the meeting, the commission members informed the residents about the upcoming events. They said that they would organize additional field meetings and consider specific ways to resolve the land issue. In addition, the commission emphasized to the residents that all decisions will be made within the framework of the law and in a transparent manner. In general, this mobile meeting held in Ward 156 provided an opportunity to listen to the problems of residents related to land issues and consider concrete ways to solve them. As a result of the meeting, residents expressed their confidence that their complaints would be submitted to the party and land commission for review and that the issue would be resolved fairly. This gathering is part of the AMANAT party's work to establish regular contact with residents, resolve land issues within the framework of the law, and contribute to the development of the settlement. Protecting the rights and interests of residents, listening to their complaints, and making appropriate decisions are among the party's priorities. According to the participants of the meeting, such measures will increase the trust of residents in the land issue, demonstrate the transparency of the city management system, and pave the way for a concrete solution to controversial issues. In the future, the commission and party representatives will hold additional meetings and carry out systematic work to fully resolve the land issue of residents.

Informing the public helps minimize risks and improves the effectiveness of municipal services. During the work on November 4, specialists inspected major streets, public areas, and residential areas. Water was pumped out of the most problematic areas, gutters were cleared of debris, and potentially hazardous areas were marked for further monitoring. These measures ensured the free drainage of rainwater, reduced the risk of flooding, and improved safety on the city's streets. The Karatau Municipal Municipality is also developing preventative measures to prevent future flooding. These include regular maintenance of drainage systems, scheduled gutter cleaning, and informing residents about potentially dangerous areas. Constant monitoring and preventative measures significantly reduce the risk of flooding and maintain the city's infrastructure in good condition. Water pumping with motorized pumps has proven its effectiveness. This technology allows for the quick and safe removal of large volumes of water and its disposal in storm drains or special reservoirs. Cleaning the gutters ensures the continuous flow of rainwater, preventing puddles and water accumulation on roads. The coordinated operation of motorized pumps and regular gutter cleaning help maintain city infrastructure and ensure the safety of residents. Particular attention is paid to compliance with sanitary standards and safety at all stages of the work. Karatau KMM ensures that employees work in a protected environment and that equipment is used correctly. This allows for efficient water pumping, gutter cleaning, and ensuring a safe urban environment. Preventing water accumulation after rain is important not only for the current condition of streets but also for the overall comfort of residents. Timely clearing prevents damage to the road surface, maintains the integrity of the infrastructure, reduces the risk of accidents, and creates comfortable conditions for pedestrians and vehicles. Careful work by public utilities contributes to improved safety and quality of life for residents. Water pumping and gutter cleaning are carried out not only during rainy seasons but also on a regular basis. During winter, when the snow melts, the risk of flooding in streets and courtyards increases. Therefore, specialists from the Karatau Municipal Water Management Center regularly monitor drainage systems and promptly deploy motor pumps and other technical means to prevent water accumulation. All measures are aimed at ensuring safety, cleanliness, and comfort for residents. A systematic approach to water pumping and gutter cleaning helps prevent emergencies and ensure that urban areas remain safe and comfortable for living. Thus, the work carried out on November 4, 2025, by specialists from the Karatau Municipal Water Management Center exemplifies the efficient and systematic work of public utilities. Water was pumped out, gutters were cleared, hazardous areas were treated, and safety and cleanliness were a priority. All measures were aimed at protecting residents, preserving urban infrastructure, and preventing water from accumulating on the streets after rain. Karatau Municipal Municipality (KMM) continuously monitors the city's infrastructure, conducts preventative maintenance, and ensures rainwater drainage. This creates comfortable, safe, and clean living conditions for residents and maintains a high level of public services.
Preventing water accumulation after rainfall: the work of specialists from the Karatau Municipal Water and Sewerage Service 04.11.2025
On November 4, 2025, specialists from the Karatau municipal state institution carried out systematic work to prevent water leakage and accumulation of water after rainfall in the city. Ensuring safety and cleanliness in the city's infrastructure is one of the main tasks. To this end, municipal workers protected the city's streets from flooding by pumping water using motor pumps and cleaning the trays. During rainfall, water often accumulates on city streets, parks, and residential areas. This not only hinders the movement of residents, but can also damage road infrastructure, houses, and utility lines. Therefore, timely pumping out water after rainfall and cleaning of drainage systems is one of the most important tasks of the city administration and municipal institutions. Specialists of the Karatau KMM work according to a predetermined plan. According to the plan, first of all, water accumulation points along streets and main road sections are checked. At these points, the water level and drainage paths are monitored. In places where water accumulates, motor pumps are installed, through which water is pumped out and directed to ditch systems or nearby water intake points. Drain cleaning is also of great importance. Drains on streets and public places allow rainwater to flow into the sewer system or natural water bodies. However, if the drains become clogged with garbage, grass, leaves, or other debris, the water flow is disrupted and water accumulates on the streets. Therefore, specialists carefully inspect each drain, clean it, and restore the flow of water. When performing water pumping operations with motor pumps, the safety of specialists is also a priority. Utility workers work in special clothing and equipment, properly install water pumps, and ensure the safety of the equipment. These measures not only protect the city's infrastructure, but also allow the employees themselves to remain safe. Preventing waterlogging after rainfall is not limited to technical measures. The Karatau Municipal Municipal Service also issues notices to residents, advising them to be careful of areas where water accumulates. This is especially important for children and the elderly, as slipping or other accidents can occur in flooded areas. Awareness of residents increases the efficiency of municipal works. According to experts, during the work on November 4, the city's main streets, public places and residential areas were thoroughly inspected. Water was pumped out, drains were cleaned, and special attention was paid to areas where an emergency could occur. These systematic measures will contribute to increasing the level of security in the city and making it more comfortable for residents. In addition, employees of the Karatau Municipal Municipal Service are also considering preventive measures to prevent water accumulation during rainfall. For example, regular maintenance of sewer systems, periodic cleaning of ditches and trays, as well as informing residents about certain water accumulation areas of the city. If all of these works are carried out systematically, the risk of flooding will be reduced and the city's infrastructure will be preserved. Work to prevent water accumulation after rainfall is carried out not only in October-November, but throughout the year. In many regions, snow melts in the winter, which can lead to flooding. Therefore, specialists from the Karatau KMU conduct constant monitoring, check the operation of drainage systems, and, if necessary, use additional motor pumps and equipment. Pumping water with a motor pump is highly efficient. These devices pump water in a short time and direct it to the ditches. In addition, cleaning the gutters allows water to flow freely, which protects the streets from flooding. The coordinated implementation of motor pumps and cleaning works not only preserves the city's infrastructure, but also ensures the safety of residents. Cleanliness and safety are the main focus. Specialists of the Karatau Municipal Municipal Service take all measures to avoid endangering the lives of residents. By coordinating the work of identifying water accumulation areas, pumping out with a motor pump, and cleaning trays, municipal workers protect the city streets from water and create comfortable conditions for residents. All of these works are aimed at improving the quality of life of residents. Preventing flooding, properly functioning drainage systems, and cleaning gutters increase public safety in the city and allow for unhindered traffic. Residents, in turn, appreciate these actions of municipal workers and take responsibility for keeping streets and public spaces clean. In conclusion, the work carried out by specialists of the Karatau municipal state institution on November 4, 2025 is a clear example of systematic, effective and population-oriented activities. Water was pumped out with a motor pump, trays were cleaned, safety and cleanliness in the city were ensured. All these works are aimed at protecting the city infrastructure, making the lives of residents safer, and preventing water from accumulating on the city streets after rainfall. "Karatau" Municipal Municipal Service always pays attention to cleanliness and safety and regularly carries out work in this direction.
