In the Turansky district of Shymkent, special attention is paid to maintaining city fountains in good condition. These objects play not only a decorative role, decorating the appearance of the metropolis, but also contribute to improving the microclimate, creating comfortable conditions in the hot summer months.
Today, there are several fountains operating in the district, located in public places - parks, squares and plazas. Thanks to these water architectural elements, the streets become more attractive, and the citizens' rest - more pleasant. In addition, the working fountains help to humidify the air, reduce dust and locally reduce the temperature, which is especially important for the southern region of the country.
According to the district administration, maintenance work, system flushing, cleaning from debris and equipment inspection are carried out regularly. Specialized services perform water quality control and ensure uninterrupted operation of pumps and lighting. If necessary, the cladding is restored, fountain elements are painted and modernized.
Special attention is paid to safety. To avoid accidents, warning signs are installed in fountain areas, and preventive work is carried out with children and teenagers. Public works services, together with police patrols, monitor order in crowded areas.
Fountains are not only pleasing to the eye, but also become part of the urban ecosystem. The constant movement of water attracts birds, reduces the concentration of harmful substances in the air and improves the overall perception of the urban environment. In densely built-up areas, such objects act as natural "coolers" and help combat overheating of asphalt and buildings.
Compared to previous years, it is worth noting significant progress in systematizing the care of city fountains. For example, 5-7 years ago, there were often cases in the city when fountains did not work for weeks due to breakdowns or lack of funding. However, in recent years, thanks to the efforts of local authorities and the implementation of the Comfortable City program, the infrastructure of water bodies has improved. Today, fountains are launched on time in the spring and summer and are serviced on a scheduled basis.
Previously, similar events were held in other areas of Shymkent, but in a disjointed form. Today, the approach has become more systematic. Employees of the improvement department, together with contractors, develop fountain maintenance schedules, monitor service deadlines and keep records. This helps avoid unscheduled downtime and ensure the stable functioning of the entire water architecture of the city.
The work in the Turansky district is part of a broader program aimed at improving the urban environment and developing green infrastructure. In the future, it is planned to introduce intelligent fountain control systems that will regulate operation depending on weather conditions and time of day, which will further save resources and increase operational efficiency.
Thus, caring for city fountains is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also an important element of environmental sustainability, sanitary safety and the creation of a comfortable urban environment for residents and guests of Shymkent.
