Akim of Karaganda region Yermaganbet Bolekpayev reminded monopolists of the need to be accountable to consumers. Residents should be informed about the implementation of the “Tariff instead of investment” program.
– I ask the authorized bodies to consider and submit specific proposals for the modernization of networks, attracting private funds, the so-called “long money”, for this. Also, strictly monitor the “Tariff instead of investment” program. Monopolists should explain to residents where they are directing their funds. The Department of the Committee for Regulation of Natural Monopolies should monitor this. Tariffs are rising, but we all need to see positive changes, - said Yermaganbet Bulekpayev at the regional active council to discuss the implementation of the instructions given by the Head of State at the expanded meeting of the Government.
This year, it is necessary to ensure 100 percent access to centralized water supply in cities and districts, he noted.
In addition, work will continue to reduce the wear and tear of engineering networks.
First Deputy Akim of the region Azamat Taizhanov reported that this year it is planned to build and reconstruct 81.1 km of water supply networks. 25 water blocks should be installed in sparsely populated settlements.
In addition, the plan for 2025 provides for the reconstruction, modernization and capital construction of more than 85 km of power transmission lines.
To improve heat supply, it is planned to reconstruct and construct 24.5 km of networks. The projects will be implemented at the expense of budget funds and investment programs. In addition, it is planned to carry out current repairs of 68 km of heating networks. It is planned to build a boiler house in the village of Shashubai, Aktogay district.
