Large-scale work is underway in Atyrau region to improve the quality of water supply and sanitation

The head of the region Serik Shapkenov told about these projects at a press conference in the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the press service of the akim of the region reports.

In general, 99.8% of the region's population is provided with clean drinking water. This year, 18.9 kilometers of water supply have been laid in the villages of Konyrauli, Akkora, Kyzylkoginsky district and the settlement of Bala Oraz, Makhambet district. Along with this, the construction of a water pipeline with a total length of 61.7 kilometers to the settlements of Atambayev, Kozdikara, Esmakhan of Makhambet district is being completed.

– Despite the consequences of floods, work is systematically underway to provide the population with high-quality drinking water. For example, the modernization of the filtration station No. 5 with a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters is being completed in the city. Next year, construction of filtration station No. 6 will begin, which will purify 60 thousand cubic meters of water per day. In addition, we have started replacing 60 kilometers of water supply lines in the city. Now half of them have been replaced with plastic. We will complete the remaining 30 kilometers next year. Along with this, we are modernizing 40 kilometers of the sewer network, which has not been repaired since the 50s. To date, the work has been completed on 17 kilometers, S. Shapkenov said.

Sewage stations that have not been repaired since 1945 are also being updated in Atyrau. Today, work is underway in the city at nine KNS. Five of them will be completed by the end of the year. In addition, design and estimate documentation is being prepared for the reconstruction of 36 stations.

This year, 14 KNS have been repaired in the city of Kulsary. In the village of Akkistau in the Isatai district, the construction of a spit is underway. And 16 KOS are being built in Makhambet, Isatai, Kurmangazinsky districts.

– One of the most important problems of concern to Atyrau residents is the sewerage system in neighborhoods. The number of complaints from residents increases during precipitation. There is also salinity of the earth. To solve this problem, design and estimate documentation was developed for 22 sites for connecting the city of Atyrau and its settlements to a centralized sewerage system. After the commissioning of the CBS in the right-bank part of the city, the connection of microdistricts will begin in 2026. It will take five years. The work will be carried out in stages," S. Shapkenov said.
