On November 4, 2025, specialists from the Karatau State Municipal Enterprise carried out systematic work to prevent water from accumulating on city streets after rain. The focus was on ensuring cleanliness and safety in urban areas. To this end, utility workers used motor pumps to pump out water and cleaned gutters, ensuring the free flow of rainwater and preventing flooding of streets and courtyards.
Rainwater accumulation after rain is a common problem faced by city residents. Rainwater can accumulate on roads, in residential areas, parks, and public spaces, creating traffic inconveniences, damaging infrastructure, and posing health and safety risks to residents. Therefore, timely water removal and gutter cleaning are key tasks for city utilities.
The work is being carried out in strict accordance with the approved plan. First, specialists inspect streets and public areas, identifying areas with the heaviest water accumulation. These areas are given priority treatment. Motor pumps are installed in these areas to effectively remove water and direct it into drainage systems or designated discharge points.
Cleaning gutters is an equally important part of the work. Gutters ensure rainwater flows into the city sewer system or natural reservoirs. However, clogging of gutters with trash, leaves, or other debris leads to drainage problems and water accumulation in the streets. Karatau Municipal Municipal Mechanics and Engineering Center specialists carefully inspect each gutter, remove all obstructions, and restore free flow, preventing flooding and improving the condition of city streets after precipitation.
Operation of motor pumps and gutter cleaning are carried out with particular attention to employee safety. Utility workers wear protective clothing and specialized equipment, properly install the equipment, and monitor safety during operations. This not only protects employees but also ensures the efficient completion of water pumping and infrastructure cleaning tasks.
In addition to technical measures, Karatau specialists inform residents about areas where water accumulates. This communication is especially important for children and the elderly, as wet areas and temporary puddles can be dangerous, leading to falls and injuries. Informing the public helps minimize risks and improves the effectiveness of municipal services.
During the work on November 4, specialists inspected major streets, public areas, and residential areas. Water was pumped out of the most problematic areas, gutters were cleared of debris, and potentially hazardous areas were marked for further monitoring. These measures ensured the free drainage of rainwater, reduced the risk of flooding, and improved safety on the city's streets.
The Karatau Municipal Municipality is also developing preventative measures to prevent future flooding. These include regular maintenance of drainage systems, scheduled gutter cleaning, and informing residents about potentially dangerous areas. Constant monitoring and preventative measures significantly reduce the risk of flooding and maintain the city's infrastructure in good condition.
Water pumping with motorized pumps has proven its effectiveness. This technology allows for the quick and safe removal of large volumes of water and its disposal in storm drains or special reservoirs. Cleaning the gutters ensures the continuous flow of rainwater, preventing puddles and water accumulation on roads. The coordinated operation of motorized pumps and regular gutter cleaning help maintain city infrastructure and ensure the safety of residents.
Particular attention is paid to compliance with sanitary standards and safety at all stages of the work. Karatau KMM ensures that employees work in a protected environment and that equipment is used correctly. This allows for efficient water pumping, gutter cleaning, and ensuring a safe urban environment.
Preventing water accumulation after rain is important not only for the current condition of streets but also for the overall comfort of residents. Timely clearing prevents damage to the road surface, maintains the integrity of the infrastructure, reduces the risk of accidents, and creates comfortable conditions for pedestrians and vehicles. Careful work by public utilities contributes to improved safety and quality of life for residents.
Water pumping and gutter cleaning are carried out not only during rainy seasons but also on a regular basis. During winter, when the snow melts, the risk of flooding in streets and courtyards increases. Therefore, specialists from the Karatau Municipal Water Management Center regularly monitor drainage systems and promptly deploy motor pumps and other technical means to prevent water accumulation.
All measures are aimed at ensuring safety, cleanliness, and comfort for residents. A systematic approach to water pumping and gutter cleaning helps prevent emergencies and ensure that urban areas remain safe and comfortable for living.
Thus, the work carried out on November 4, 2025, by specialists from the Karatau Municipal Water Management Center exemplifies the efficient and systematic work of public utilities. Water was pumped out, gutters were cleared, hazardous areas were treated, and safety and cleanliness were a priority. All measures were aimed at protecting residents, preserving urban infrastructure, and preventing water from accumulating on the streets after rain.
Karatau Municipal Municipality (KMM) continuously monitors the city's infrastructure, conducts preventative maintenance, and ensures rainwater drainage. This creates comfortable, safe, and clean living conditions for residents and maintains a high level of public services.
