The situation in Kostanay remains stable, and there is no threat of flooding of residential buildings. Since March 14, 90 requests have been received, of which 83 have been promptly addressed, and 7 were not confirmed. The requests were related to the accumulation of water on the city streets and its proximity to residential yards.

The snow cover in the fields outside the city has melted by 90%, except for lowlands and forested areas.

In the city, round-the-clock hydroposts are operating in the areas of "Kostanay-2," "Druzhba" residential area, SO "Dorozhnik," "Textilshchik," and "Sadovod." The city services are on duty in an enhanced mode. The main efforts are focused on preventing flooding and constant monitoring of flood-prone areas.

Currently, more than 1,700 sandbags have been placed to protect residential buildings. A total of 216 units of special equipment are involved, and pumping of meltwater from yard areas and streets is ongoing. Three drainage channels with a total length of 18 km and 44 water-passing structures have been cleared — meltwater is flowing freely, without blockages or accumulations. Water is also flowing through 6 ravines: "Kostanay – Say," "Abil-Say," "Taun-Say," "Konay" residential area, "Amanheldi," and "Textilshchik" — no blockages or obstacles are present. A total of 100.6 km of stormwater networks have been cleared, allowing water to flow without obstruction.

Assistance continues to be provided to socially vulnerable citizens — municipal workers, rescuers, volunteers, and cadets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Academy are helping to clear yards and adjacent areas. A total of 660 people are involved in these activities.

To mitigate the consequences of flooding, a task force of more than 400 people and 396 units of equipment has been formed, including 22 motor pumps, 7 water pumps, 21 "Andijanets" vehicles, 138 dump trucks, 38 septic tank trucks, 71 tractors, 58 loaders, 25 excavators, 14 cranes, and 31 graders.

Since the beginning of winter, 637.9 thousand cubic meters of snow have been removed (in 2024 — 832.5 thousand cubic meters).
