On behalf of the mayor of the city, Yerbolat Dosayev, work continues in Almaty to provide citizens with high-quality outdoor lighting. One of its directions is the elimination of areas where historically there were no street lights. For 10 months of this year, the teams of the Almaty Kala Zharyk State Enterprise illuminated 95 courtyards, streets and alleys, installing more than 500 supports and brackets and the same number of lamps there. The length of the previously unlit sections was 20 kilometers."We have never had lighting in the Kemel microdistrict along Kazanat Street in the Kapshagai highway area. There are a lot of people living here, before everyone got home in the dark. It was especially difficult for schoolchildren and pensioners. After contacting Almaty Kala Zharyk, new lampposts were installed, lighting was connected, it became much more comfortable, for which I am very grateful. Now we live like people," says Bakhyt Arystanova, Chairman of the Kazanat AXIS"Our Mukaeva Street in the Akbulak microdistrict is a dead end, and for some reason there was no street lighting at the very end of it. And a large family lives here, and it was very scary for the students to return from classes in the dark. Lighting was installed very quickly, literally the next day after contacting Almaty Kala Zharyk, a team arrived, dug holes and installed poles. A day later, the lanterns were hung up and connected, and now we have a bright and bright street, it's a real holiday for the residents. A huge human thank you to everyone," says Lunara Sembayeva, a resident of the Alatau district.According to Almaty Kala Zharyk, by the end of the year, 25 more previously unlit streets and alleys will be illuminated in the city. The installation of new light points is carried out at the request of district akimats, which form lists of problem areas. According to them, a work plan and a connection schedule are drawn up. Information is currently being prepared on the elimination of unlit areas for 2025.In general, in just 10 months of this year, more than 27 thousand lamps were installed and replaced in Almaty, about 300 km of cable was stretched, and more than two thousand new lighting poles were installed. 24.5 thousand applications from citizens have been processed, which is 93% of all received.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this important matter!", - thanks a resident of the district Galina."Flooding at the intersection of Makataev and Zhumaliev streets was a real headache for all local residents. In heavy rains, water not only flooded roads, but also got into the basements of houses, creating serious problems. I am very glad that this situation has now been changed - after the work done, the water no longer stagnates. Now we can safely walk and move along the street without fear that it will rain and flood everything again," shares Yerlan, a resident of Zhumalieva Street.Recall that in Almaty, on the eve of the winter period, within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan" and the city campaign "Almaty is our common home", a large–scale cleaning of the street and road network, public places, riverbeds, street urns and a ditch network is being carried out.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/890994

In Almaty, within the framework of the "Taza Kazakhstan" concept, large-scale work continues to improve the sanitary condition of the city. On behalf of Akim Yerbolat Dosayev, modern buried-type garbage containers are being installed. Since the beginning of the year, 650 buried containers have been installed at 128 sites, and by the end of the year, another 136 will be installed at 14 sites. These containers have a number of advantages: they are completely closed, protected from access by stray animals and birds, eliminate unpleasant odors and improve the appearance of yard areas. In 2025-2026, it is planned to install more than 2,000 buried containers in the city. They have a larger capacity, take up less space and are equipped with fireproof burlaps made of polypropylene material. A special plastic tray at the bottom of the container prevents liquid leakage. New containers have already appeared in Auezov and Bostandyk districts. In Zhetysu district, some installed containers will be serviced after the purchase of appropriate equipment from next year. In the Turksib district, worn-out garbage cans have been replaced with new ones at several sites. Work in this direction continues. Residents note the convenience and aesthetic appearance of the installed containers. "These tanks are not only comfortable, but also have a modern, aesthetic appearance, which significantly improves the appearance of the area. This is an important step towards landscaping, and I urge all residents to show responsibility: let's respect our common work and not leave garbage next to containers," Anastasia, a resident of the Almagul microdistrict, addresses the neighbors. "Previously, iron containers were often corroded, especially in the summer, when high temperatures increased the smell. Now, with the installation of new containers, this problem will finally be solved. We can count on a much cleaner and more comfortable area, where it will be pleasant for all residents to live," said Victoria Gorbunova, a resident of the Bostandyk district. In general, a number of initiatives are being implemented in Almaty to encourage separate waste collection:•more than 1,200 eco-boxes are located in the city's organizations;•There are 11 fandomats for receiving plastic and aluminum bottles;•500 grain waste collection containers have been installed;•There are 8 recycling collection points.

The pedestrian street of Panfilov began to play with new colors. In September of this year, work began on its repair in the area between Kabanbai Batyr and Zhibek Zholy streets. This was due to the fact that the paving slabs cracked in places, benches, irrigation system and other elements of landscaping became unusable.As Mayor of the megalopolis Yerbolat Dosayev noted during a working detour of the Almaly district, this street is a favorite place of citizens and guests of Almaty, therefore, attention was paid to every detail in terms of aesthetics and practicality during the repair.Today, the district akimat has replaced two thousand square meters of paving stones, installed 130 benches, 2 playgrounds, replaced 2.6 km of lighting cables and repaired 2 dry fountains. Special attention was paid to landscaping and the creation of living areas. Thus, the green zone has been expanded by 20%."In general, this territory will be decorated with more than 13 thousand shrubs and perennials, such as Japanese spirea, hydrangea and many other plants. We have already planted 39 new trees: small-leaved linden, ornamental apple and pear trees. To protect the sown lawn from the cold and birds, we covered it with cocoa bean husks. They act as fertilizer and give a pleasant smell," said Margarita Balakireva, a representative of the contractor.After the renovation, the space sparkled with new colors, causing positive emotions among the citizens."I can say that the difference is immediately noticeable, it has become more comfortable to move on smooth paving stones, the street has become more cozy. Experts have tried to make the pedestrian zone look beautiful at any time of the day, regardless of the time of the year," one of the residents of the city shared.Alina Kuznetsova, a resident of the district, stressed that she was especially pleased with the new installations and children's areas. "We walk here almost every day, it's great that our favorite fountains have been repaired. In general, everything is done perfectly, the street has become even more beautiful," she added.Another object visited by Yerbolat Dosayev during the detour is a new square at the intersection of Rozybakiev and Duissenov streets, built within the framework of the Budget of People's Participation program.Earlier, the land plot of 0.49 hectares, on which the square is located, was transferred to the entrepreneur for temporary lease. However, the land was not used for its intended purpose, and over time a spontaneous market was formed there, which caused inconvenience to residents of nearby houses.Now paths have been arranged on this site, benches, urns, playgrounds for kids and teenagers with rubber coating have been installed, lighting has been carried out. There is also an automatic irrigation system, a green area in the form of a lawn and 3,585 perennial shrubs."Before that, screams and noise from parking trucks started under the windows in the early morning, and in summer it was impossible to open the window because of various smells. We are glad that the akimat has not only solved the problem of spontaneous trade, but also improved the site. This project has become a kind of decoration of our neighborhood, turning a noisy area into a green square. Now residents and especially children constantly gather here and spend their leisure time," one of the residents of the district shared her opinion.During the meeting with the citizens, Yerbolat Dosayev stressed that work will continue in the metropolis to create safe and green public spaces for recreation and sports.It should be noted that 18.8 billion tenge has been allocated for the program "Budget of People's Participation" this year in the city, which is 5.8 billion tenge more than last year. Almaty residents had the opportunity to propose and implement 364 projects for the improvement of courtyards, public spaces, the creation of sports and playgrounds.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/888994

The Southern district boiler house in Almaty was built in 1972. Since then, only major and routine repairs of the equipment have been carried out. So, in 2003 and 2015, two of the four hot water boilers were replaced.Last year, the mayor of the city, Yerbolat Dosayev, during an inspection of the southern boiler house, which at that time was in a worn-out condition, instructed to modernize it. Thus, for the first time, the current project provides for the replacement and reconstruction of all four boilers, as well as existing auxiliary equipment.According to the design decisions, the contractor replaced three boilers in 1972, 1982 and 2003, and modernization works were carried out on the fourth hot water boiler. At this stage, pumping units, automation have been installed, gas and auxiliary equipment have been installed, and commissioning has been completed. As a result, the increase in boiler capacity amounted to 55 Gcal/h. After the complete completion of the reconstruction, the total capacity of the boiler house will be 190 Gcal/h.The reconstruction is scheduled to be completed in December this year.The head of the city noted that the renovation of the municipal infrastructure in Almaty is one of the priorities."We have significantly increased the volume of investments in the modernization of the thermal infrastructure, which allows us to ensure stable heat supply in the future. Currently, CHP-1 and CHP-2 consistently supply heat, but we strive to minimize the need for laying new backbone networks. Starting in 2025, we intend to develop local boiler houses that will effectively cover the needs of neighborhoods and neighborhoods. This is more efficient and will significantly reduce maintenance costs, since the repair of distribution networks is much more economical than replacing large-diameter main pipes. The work carried out this year is preparation for the next heating season of 2025-2026," Yerbolat Dosayev said.For example, in 2023, a local boiler house was built in the Nauryzbay district, and construction is also planned in the Turksib district.In addition, the Mayor of Almaty was informed about the modernization of worn-out heating networks in the Bostandyk district, which were put into operation from 39 to 48 years ago, with a standard service life of 25 years. The work has been fully completed on four sites, which are powered by the southern boiler house, with a total length of about 5 km. With the measures taken, residents of 328 apartment buildings, 30 private houses, 11 kindergartens, 4 schools, 4 health facilities and 103 other facilities are provided with high-quality heat supply.Recall that Almaty is actively modernizing engineering networks. This year, 20 km of networks have been reconstructed. Reconstruction of 4 and repair of 81 boiler houses of ATKE LLP has been completed. This made it possible to reduce network wear from 57.9% to 56.1%. The heating season in 2024 was started on October 7, and 100% readiness was ensured. 140% of coal and 100% of fuel oil have been accumulated for the current heating season. In total, 404 educational facilities, 128 healthcare facilities and 8,863 residential buildings are covered.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/888817
