This large-scale project, implemented on behalf of Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev, solved a long-standing problem with water in the upper part of the district. Today, more than 20 thousand residents of Kamenskoye Plateau, Kolsai, Yubileyny and Muztau have access to uninterrupted water supply."We used to use mountain irrigation water, sometimes we took it from water carriers. About two years ago, the water pressure became weak, because the private sector is here, everyone is watering the gardens. To solve the problem, in 2023 I personally came to a meeting with the akim's population and appealed to him. He promised that he would solve our problem. In 2024, the problem was solved, we got water! On behalf of the residents of Ladushkina Street, we express our gratitude for the stable water supply," resident Laura Kurmangalieva shared.Landscaping projects are being actively implemented in Almaty, and the program "Budget of People's Participation" makes a significant contribution to this work. Thanks to this mechanism, every resident has the opportunity to directly influence the development of their area, making the city even more cozy and comfortable to live in. Taking into account the effectiveness of the program, Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev increased the financing of the program by 18.8 billion tenge, which is 5.8 billion tenge more than last year.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/899309
