The construction of a new branch of the water pipeline is being completed in the Shortandinsky district of the Akmola region. For many years, residents of the village received drinking water from four underground wells, which have been in operation since 1971. However, due to long-term exploitation and an increase in population, groundwater reserves have significantly decreased, which has led to an acute shortage of water. To eliminate the problem, it was decided to build a water pipeline from an underground water deposit located near the village of Egemen in the Shortandinsky district.
During a working trip to the Shortandinsky district, Akim of the Akmola region Marat Akhmetzhanov visited the facility.
Construction work began in July of this year, the contractor is Universalstroyservice LLP. To date, 18 km of water pipeline has already been laid, the construction of a concrete reservoir has been completed, two production wells have been drilled, on-site water supply networks at pumping station No. 2 have been equipped, block modules of the treatment plant, pumping stations of the 1st and 2nd lifts, as well as a booster station, and installation of power supply networks of pumping stations has been completed.
"The completion of the construction is scheduled for mid-December, the work is going according to plan. An additional branch of the water pipeline will provide Shortand residents with water with a reserve," said Deputy akim of the district Askar Mahfuz.
The head of the region instructed representatives of the akimat of the region to control the quality and timing of the work performed.
