The meeting of the staff chaired by the regional akim Askhat Shakharov considered the issue of gasification of rural settlements and provision of drinking water.
The head of the Energy and Housing and Communal Services Department Arysulan Aitbayev said that 172 out of 319 settlements in the region have been gasified, which is 53.9%. According to the results of 2024, 8 of the 21 launched projects have been fully completed, 13 are among the transitional projects for 2025. With the implementation of these projects, 23 villages with a population of 9.8 thousand will be supplied with natural gas. As part of the "QazaqGaz Aimaq" investment program, it is planned to complete the gasification of the village of Kozhasai, Mugalzhar district. In addition, gas will soon be supplied to 6 more villages with a population of 2.6 thousand.
"By the end of 2025, 196 settlements will be supplied with gas, which is 61.4% of the total number of villages. In addition, applications have been submitted for 9 new projects worth 4.7 billion tenge for 2025–2027. Their implementation will allow gasification of 206 settlements," explained Arysulan Aitbayev.
As the speaker noted, in December last year, the construction of the third circuit of the main gas pipeline was completed in Aktobe. Currently, work is underway to fill sections of the gas pipeline and bring it to operating pressure. As a result, the throughput of the gas pipeline will be increased to 526.5 thousand m3 per hour, which will allow providing the city with additional natural gas.
As for water supply to settlements, today 291 out of 319 villages are provided with drinking water, which is 91.2%. Water wells are used in 28 villages. Within the framework of the instructions of the President of the country to provide the population with 100% high-quality drinking water, this year in the Aktobe region it is planned to bring these indicators to 302 settlements or 94.7%.
"Two large projects have been developed to build the "Sarybulak" and "Moiseyev" pumping stations to provide drinking water to residential areas of the city of Aktobe. Both projects received a positive conclusion from the state expert examination and are aimed at financing from the republican budget. After the implementation of these projects, an additional 70,000 m3 of water will arrive in the city per day, which will allow to fully solve the problem of water supply to residential areas," the head of the department specified.
To solve the problem of deterioration of water supply networks, it is planned to implement 13 projects in the region. In addition, Aqtobe su-energy group JSC plans to renovate 12.2 kilometers of water supply networks, thus reducing the level of wear and tear of networks in the regional center to 29.5%.
The regional akim instructed to complete all initiated projects on water supply and gasification on time.
"I instruct the Department of Energy and Housing and Communal Services to strengthen control over the implementation of all initiated projects. Gasification and water supply must be completed on schedule, and no project should be postponed without reason. All planned activities aimed at improving gas and water supply in the region will contribute to improving the quality of life of the local population and fulfilling the tasks set by the Head of State to provide every resident with infrastructure. All initiated projects must be kept under strict control," the regional head said.
