Poor-quality repair work on the street can negatively affect traffic safety, the stability of public infrastructure, and the aesthetics of the city's appearance. Project purpose and scope As part of the investment project of "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP, work was carried out to upgrade the outdated sewer system on Ilyaev Street. The main goal of the project is to improve the quality of transport and improve urban infrastructure by restoring the old sewer system and renovating the road. The project included laying a new asphalt layer, upgrading the road section to modern standards, and restoring the ditches and channels that provide water flow along the road, ensuring the stability of the sewage system. The project is being implemented within the framework of the city administration's investment plans and is aimed at creating comfortable conditions for residents and transport. Poor quality asphalt layer detected However, during an inspection conducted on December 2, 2025, it was found that the asphalt layer laid did not comply with building codes and standards. This situation required the contractor to take appropriate measures. A poor-quality asphalt layer can be caused by several reasons: improperly prepared mixtures, violations of the technological process, non-compliance of materials with standards, or insufficient control. Such shortcomings can not only shorten the service life of the road, but also negatively affect road safety. After a road quality inspection revealed violations of construction standards, the contractor was given the task of removing the previously laid asphalt layer and replacing it with a new asphalt layer that meets all requirements. Work is being resumed. Currently, asphalt paving works are actively underway on Ilyaev Street.

Specialists will carefully check the thickness, laying technology, density and evenness of the new asphalt layer. In addition, the sewer system is being restored at the same time. These works are designed to facilitate traffic on the street and ensure its long-term service life. During road repairs, temporary traffic management, route changes, and safety measures are being implemented to create comfortable conditions for residents and drivers. Measures have been taken by the competent authority. Appropriate measures were taken by the competent authority against the contractor for laying a poor-quality asphalt layer. This is not only a financial or administrative liability, but also a warning about the need to comply with building codes in the future. Institution-focused measures may include: financial penalties, making changes to the contract, strengthen control, increasing responsibility in subsequent projects. The competent authority strictly monitored the contractor's compliance with these requirements. The importance of road quality Since Ilyaev Street is one of the main transport arteries in the city, the quality of the road directly affects the daily lives of residents. A quality road facilitates traffic, prevents accidents, and allows public transport to run on time. Also, the proper functioning of the infrastructure improves the appearance of the city. Updated roads and sewage systems provide a comfortable, safe environment for residents. The city administration will monitor the work in this area and pay special attention to eliminating all shortcomings. Control and quality requirements The City Construction and Investment Department carefully monitors each stage of the project. The main areas of quality control are: thickness and smoothness of the asphalt layer, compliance of materials with standards, proper installation of the sewer system, compliance with traffic and safety requirements. Such control ensures long-term and high-quality work. Conclusion The road repair work on Ilyaev Street is an important part of the city's infrastructure renovation. By upgrading the sewer system, paving asphalt, and improving traffic flow, a more comfortable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing environment is being created for city residents. After the discovery of a substandard asphalt layer, the contractor was instructed to lay new asphalt, and appropriate measures were taken for non-compliance with construction standards. Currently, all work is being actively carried out, and quality control is strictly maintained. The successful implementation of the project will not only improve the quality of the road on Ilyaev Street, but will also allow for the sustainable development of the city's infrastructure, improve the quality of life of residents, and ensure public safety.

On December 1, 2025, the mayor of Shymkent, Gabit Syzdykbekov, took part in the ceremonial launch of the drinking water system in the Aikol residential area. This event is a long-awaited solution to an important social issue that the residents of the district have been waiting for. Previously, during meetings with the city akim, the people expressed their concern about the shortage of drinking water for many years and asked to build the appropriate infrastructure. Taking these requests into account, a decision was made to implement the project. The main goal of the project is to provide the Aikol residential area with high-quality and uninterrupted water. In this regard, 14.7 kilometers of water pipelines were built. As a result of the construction, along with private housing, social facilities - a total of 38 facilities - received stable drinking water. This, in turn, will significantly improve the daily living conditions of the region's residents and significantly increase their quality of life. Speaking at the launch ceremony, the city mayor Gabit Syzdykbekov noted that the work being done for the benefit of the residents of Shymkent will continue. He expressed his gratitude to the sponsors, contracting organizations and all the employees who worked. He especially noted that the project was implemented on time and with high quality, and was completed in a short period of time. The akim said that this is a clear result of mutual trust and joint work between the authorities, entrepreneurs and the population. — Today is a special joy for the people of the Aikol residential area. Access to clean drinking water is one of the main needs of every citizen. Safe, clean water is a guarantee of health. Therefore, we consider providing water to every settlement in the city as one of the main tasks. There is still a lot of work ahead. Infrastructure development will continue, — the city mayor said in his speech. The residents who attended the event also expressed their gratitude to the akim and all the citizens who participated in the project. They raised the issue of not only water, but also the issue of connecting the natural gas system in the future, and conveyed their requests to the city leader. In turn, the akim said that this issue would also be resolved in stages. The commissioning of the water system in the Aikol residential area is a clear manifestation of the open dialogue between the akimat and residents, the principle of the government listening to the voice of the people. This project is one of the urgent and effective steps aimed at improving the lives of the city's population. Currently, the city of Shymkent is developing rapidly, new microdistricts and settlements are emerging. Accordingly, the development of engineering and communication infrastructure is an urgent task on the agenda. According to the City Energy and Infrastructure Development Department, the drinking water coverage rate in Shymkent has reached 99.5 percent. This is a high indicator at the republican level. In recent years, many important projects have been implemented in the city to provide residents with clean water. Connecting newly added settlements to drinking water remains one of the main priorities. A number of major projects were successfully completed in 2025. The settlements of Tekesu, Kyzylzhar-2 and Aikol were covered with pipelines, and hundreds of families received clean water. The problem of living on transported water or temporary wells, as before, is gradually being resolved. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the socio-economic development, demography and well-being of the population of Shymkent. The Aikol residential area is a region with high potential and great prospects. Every year, new housing is being built here, and people are moving in. Therefore, the systematic development of engineering infrastructure is a solid foundation for the development of the region. The commissioning of the water system is an important step in this direction. In the near future, roads will be repaired here, the electricity system will be upgraded, and work on natural gas transmission will continue. Today's significant event brought joy to the hearts of residents and strengthened their confidence in the future. The Shymkent city administration announced that it will always pay attention to the suggestions and opinions of the people and do everything in its power to solve urgent problems. The administration will continue to provide social support, improve infrastructure, and improve the environment. The residents of the Aikol residential area, in turn, have shown unity and public activity, supporting all initiatives. Today's success is a tangible result of that cooperation. From now on, they will have the opportunity to freely use clean water and improve their living conditions. In general, creating conditions for a high-quality life for city residents is the main goal of any government program. In this context, the commissioning of a water system is one of the important steps aimed at improving the social conditions of residents.

New tariffs for water and sewerage services will come into force in Shymkent from December 1. These changes will apply equally to residents, entrepreneurs and budget organizations of the city, but will primarily affect consumers of groups 2 and 3. The new tariffs are planned to be in effect until June 2026. Official information about this was confirmed by "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP and relevant city authorities. The volume of water consumption by the city's population is increasing every year. The number of industrial enterprises has also increased, and the load on the infrastructure has increased. In this regard, it is said that there is a need to revise tariffs. Additional investments are needed to modernize water systems, repair treatment facilities, and introduce new technologies. Therefore, changing tariffs is a step aimed at continuing the normal operation of the industry. What are the new tariffs? The new tariffs were approved in two main groups: Group 2 consumers (non-household, private business entities): Without tax: 604 tenge With tax: 677 tenge Group 3 - for budget institutions: Without tax: 863 tenge With tax: 967 tenge These groups include schools, kindergartens, hospitals, social facilities, and government agencies. The slightly higher tariff for them is explained by the aim of covering infrastructure costs and supporting the water system. What is the impact on the population? It should be noted that the change in tariffs mainly concerns non-household consumers. That is, for ordinary residents, the tariff will remain the same or the change may be very small. This is a reflection of a socially oriented policy. After all, water is a basic human need, a source of life. It is planned in such a way that it will not affect the level of well-being of society. Shymkent is one of the most populous and rapidly developing cities in the country. Although the city's water supply system has been frequently upgraded in recent years, it still requires significant investment. The problem of water pressure, especially in new microdistricts and near high-rise buildings, has not yet been fully resolved. From this perspective, it seems that the tariff changes are aimed primarily at increasing the responsibility of business structures, rather than burdening socially vulnerable groups. The business sector should actively participate in covering part of the costs of water supply. Why was it necessary to increase the tariff? According to experts, there are several reasons for the tariff change: Infrastructure deterioration Water pipes in some areas of the city have been in use for 30-40 years. They often burst, causing accidents. Rising energy costs The price of electricity used in water treatment and distribution stations has increased. Population growth The number of people moving to cities is increasing every year. This means an increase in the demand for water. The need to finance modernization projects Expanding treatment facilities, building new reservoirs, and upgrading pumping stations require significant investment. Encouraging water conservation Increasing the tariff will encourage enterprises to use water more efficiently. Improving water quality is the main goal Since Shymkent is a major industrial and agglomeration center in the southern region, efficient use of water resources is of great importance. Water for the city comes mainly from underground sources and neighboring regions. Water quality monitoring is being intensified. After the introduction of new tariffs, the following areas are expected to be developed: Pipe replacement and repair Upgrading water pressure regulation systems Expansion of sewage treatment plants Installing smart water meters Regular laboratory monitoring of water quality These measures are aimed at increasing the continuity and safety of water services. What do entrepreneurs say? Some entrepreneurs note that the tariff increase will affect the cost of production. Especially for small businesses, costs will increase. However, the city administration claims that such a change is necessary and that businesses will benefit in the future as the infrastructure improves. According to economists, tariff changes are a common step in world practice. In many countries, water supply systems are financed through tariffs. Most importantly, tariff increases should be accompanied by quality improvements. What do city residents expect? After the introduction of the new tariff, residents are expecting the following changes: Water stagnation is reduced Damaged pipes are repaired in a timely manner Access to clean drinking water increases The sewer system will be improved. The city's ecology will improve. The main demand of the population is stable water quality and pressure. If the tariff increase allows for improved quality, the population may perceive this change as a good thing. Conclusion The change in water and sewerage tariffs in Shymkent is a decision aimed at modernizing the infrastructure, improving water quality, and ensuring the stable operation of the system. The establishment of tariffs until June 2026 will allow for long-term planning. In accordance with the growth and development of the city's population, water resources management should be properly and efficiently managed. In conclusion, the tariff increase is not just an increase in costs, but an investment in the future. The main thing is to improve water quality and use it for the benefit of the population.

On November 21, 2025, improvement works were carried out at the temporary animal isolation center in the Aktas settlement of Shymkent city. This event was organized with the aim of beautifying the center's territory, creating favorable living conditions for animals, and improving infrastructure. Improvement measures are important for the development and progress of any public or socially significant institutions, as they create a comfortable, cozy environment for people and animals. The main focus of the improvement work was on landscaping the center's territory. For this purpose, 150 trees were planted. The planted trees not only provide an aesthetic appearance, but also have a positive impact on the ecological situation of the environment. Green spaces improve air quality, create a microclimate, provide a natural refuge for animals, and also leave a positive impression on visitors to the center.

All this was aimed at improving the living environment of animals and creating comfortable conditions for employees and visitors. The main goal of the improvement work is to create a comfortable environment in the center. The temporary animal isolation center is an important part of the city's infrastructure, as it ensures the safety and health of street animals. Weather-resistant, environmentally friendly green areas provide animals with comfortable rest, relaxation, and movement. This allows the main functions of the center to be effectively implemented - protecting animals and providing them with temporary accommodation. The participation of local residents, volunteers and center employees in the improvement work increases their responsibility towards the environment. The work done has a positive effect not only physically, but also psychologically for the animals in the center. Trees and greenery reduce stress for animals and help improve their emotional well-being. This is especially important for dogs and cats, as they need constant peace and security. During the improvement, special attention was paid to the veterinary service. The temporary animal isolation center should be developed not only in terms of aesthetics, but also from a medical perspective. The veterinary service is responsible for monitoring the health of animals in the center, carrying out preventive measures, and providing assistance to injured or sick animals. The improvement of the territory increases the efficiency of the veterinary service, as it makes it easier to work in a clean, orderly environment, and creates favorable conditions for treating and caring for animals.

On November 21, 2025, the next "Clean Thursday" environmental campaign, organized by the city branch of the "AMANAT" party, was held in Shymkent.

This time, the "Clean Thursday" campaign was held in the "Shymsiti" microdistrict of the Abay district. The mentioned area is one of the new residential areas that has been rapidly developing in recent years. Due to the large number of construction works and the increase in the population, there is a risk of household waste accumulating on some streets. In this regard, the organizers of the campaign decided to hold the cleaning event in this very area. Participants covered several streets of the microdistrict, collecting roadside garbage, plastic bottles, paper waste, and construction waste. They also tidied up dead tree branches and grass, improving the sanitary condition of yards and public places. The garbage collected during the cleaning work was removed with special equipment and taken to a landfill. During the campaign, representatives of the AMANAT party and volunteer youth also conducted explanatory work with residents on the issue of environmental protection. They spoke about the importance of protecting nature, the responsibility of each citizen to keep their yard and street clean, and explained the need to form a culture of sorting, recycling, and disposing of household waste in special places. The environmental campaign was organized within the framework of the "Clean Kazakhstan" national project, which is being implemented at the initiative of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev . The main goal of the national project is to increase the environmental responsibility of the country's citizens, widely involve society in environmental protection work, and form a culture aimed at maintaining constant sanitary cleanliness throughout the country. Not only state bodies, but also business structures and public organizations are actively participating in the implementation of this project. Shymkent is the third largest city in the country, densely populated and one of the fastest growing regions. The rapid development of the city requires increased environmental responsibility. In this regard, campaigns such as "Clean Thursday" are of particular importance. They are not limited to garbage collection, but, most importantly, are aimed at instilling a culture of environmental protection in the minds of city residents. Since the beginning of the year, the “Clean Thursday” environmental campaign has been held 47 times in Shymkent. This indicator indicates an increase in the environmental activity of city residents. As a result of the campaigns, about 45 tons of garbage were removed. In addition, more than 4 thousand city residents participated in cleaning work as volunteers throughout the year. This indicates that the number of citizens who are not indifferent to the sanitary condition of the city is increasing. The city branch of the AMANAT party has been consistently promoting environmental initiatives. According to party representatives, the Clean Thursday campaign will continue in the future. It will be held every week in various neighborhoods and streets of the city, systematically calling on residents to protect nature. In his speech during the campaign, Deputy Executive Secretary of the city branch, Yerbol Baikonysov, noted that showing compassion for nature is the duty of every citizen. "Environmental protection is not only the responsibility of government agencies. If every resident keeps their yard clean, the city's ecology will improve significantly. We are pleased with the activity of the young people who participated in today's action. Young people are the driving force of society, and if their environmental culture is high, our city and country will be cleaner and more beautiful in the future," he said. In addition, activists from the "Zhastar Ruhy" organization who participated in the event said that they will continue to conduct educational work in schools and colleges to increase environmental awareness, sort waste, and prevent environmentally harmful activities. In conclusion, the next environmental campaign held in the Shymcity microdistrict was one of the important steps towards creating eco-consciousness in society. Such initiatives contribute not only to improving the ecology of the city, but also to increasing the activity of citizens and strengthening their sense of shared responsibility. In the future, the cleaning activities organized by the AMANAT party will continue, contributing to the development of the metropolis as a clean and comfortable city.

In order to increase environmental culture, strengthen environmental responsibility among residents and clean up the city, another city-wide cleaning campaign “Clean Thursday” was held in Shymkent. This traditional event, remaining part of systematic work aimed at improving the environment, is considered one of the most effective initiatives implemented with the participation of city residents.

This event was organized in the Abay district, and a total of more than 50 people were involved. The cleanliness and environmental situation of Shymkent are important issues for the city administration and society. In recent years, the pace of urbanization in the metropolis has been accelerating, and the population is growing. It is known that along with the growth and prosperity of the city, the infrastructure has also expanded, and the volume of household waste has increased. In such a situation, holding regular cleaning campaigns is one of the most effective ways to preserve the natural environment and improve the quality of the environment. The “Clean Thursday” event plays a special role in achieving this goal. This time, the participants of the campaign carried out work aimed at cleaning several streets, public places, pedestrian paths and yards of the Abay district. Volunteers and representatives of municipal services collected scattered garbage, put the accumulated waste in special bags and delivered it to the appropriate places. In addition, weeds that had grown wild were mowed and green areas were cared for. Bushes and trees were put in order, and sanitary pruning was carried out in order to create favorable conditions for their growth. These actions not only improve the aesthetic appearance, but also have a positive effect on the health of plants. During the cleaning work, special attention was paid to the green areas of the city. This is because the condition of green belts directly affects the overall ecological level of the environment. Timely care for trees and shrubs helps to improve air quality, stabilize the microclimate, and create a comfortable and pleasant environment for city residents. This work, carried out jointly by volunteers, is an important sign of society's commitment to preserving the city's nature. The "Clean Thursday" campaign was not limited to cleaning activities, but also continued with educational activities aimed at creating an ecological culture. The participants of the campaign discussed the environmental hazards posed by environmental pollution, the importance of proper sorting of household waste, and the need to protect green spaces, and exchanged experiences. Such events contribute to increasing environmental literacy among young people. In particular, activists from the "Zhastar Ruhi" organization were particularly active in explaining to their peers the importance of maintaining cleanliness. The main goal of the event is not only to improve the appearance of the city, but also to mobilize residents for a common cause, increasing environmental responsibility. In a society with a culture of cleanliness, environmental pollution is reduced, and environmental protection activities are increased. In this regard, the "Clean Thursday" campaign is of great importance. During the campaign, the participants not only improved the sanitary condition of the territory, but also contributed to the beautification of the city. As a result of these works, a number of streets and territories of the Abay district were significantly cleaned and left an impression of renewal. The joint work of caring citizens was a real manifestation of the creation of a harmonious environment. Also, the party branch employees and youth wing representatives who participated in the action called on the city residents to protect nature and keep the environment clean. They noted that if everyone starts from their own yard and street, the city's ecology will improve. Encouraging residents to actively participate in such events is an important part of increasing the environmental culture of society. The peculiarity of this campaign is its regular organization. Every Thursday, such events are held in the city, and cleaning work is carried out systematically in each district of the city. Such stability allows us to maintain and constantly improve the quality of the environment. In addition, according to the organizers, the number of participants in the campaign is increasing every year. This indicates the growing interest of residents in environmental issues. The "Clean Thursday" campaign has become an important platform for the formation of an ecological culture.

Its opening will allow for the exchange of experience, the introduction of new technologies, and the improvement of the quality of agricultural products. At the same time, the implementation of the project will strengthen food security and increase the ability to provide the domestic market with quality products. The state is always ready to work closely with investors and provide support at all stages of the project," the minister said.

The complex uses innovative water-saving technologies, which is of particular importance given the problem of water shortage in the region. At the same time, the complex will provide permanent employment to hundreds of people and give a new impetus to the regional economy," said Aidyn Meirambekovich. The greenhouse complex built within the framework of the project meets international standards. It incorporates high technologies such as drip irrigation, automatic climate control, and modern plant nutrition systems. These methods allow not only to improve product quality, but also to increase plant disease resistance and overall productivity. The first tomatoes harvested are a highly sought-after, environmentally friendly product grown in accordance with modern requirements. In the future, the greenhouse complex plans to not only supply the domestic market, but also export part of the products to neighboring countries. This will create favorable conditions for increasing the export potential of Kazakhstan's agricultural products. During the event , Alarko Holding Chairman of the Board Izzet Garih noted that economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Turkey is growing, noting that the support of local executive bodies has played a significant role in the successful implementation of the project. According to him, the company is interested in undertaking new projects in Kazakhstan in the future. Consul General of the Republic of Turkey Levent Gürcan also expressed his warm welcome, emphasizing that this project will contribute to strengthening friendship and mutually beneficial partnership between the two countries. The Alsera KZ greenhouse complex, with a total area of tens of hectares, will occupy a special place on the agro-industrial map of the region as a new facility. The launch of the project will accelerate scientific and technological progress in agriculture in Shymkent and give impetus to the development of agrarian entrepreneurship. In addition, the greenhouse complex will make a significant contribution to solving the problem of employment for the local population. According to experts, when the complex is operating at full capacity, hundreds of new jobs will be created. This, in turn, will have a positive impact on improving the socio-economic situation. Thus, the first harvest of the Alsera KZ greenhouse complex is a significant event in the agricultural sector of Shymkent and the entire country. This is a reflection of Kazakhstan's desire to raise agricultural production to a new qualitative level not only at the regional level, but also at the international level. This project, based on modern technologies, will undoubtedly determine the direction of development of the agricultural sector and contribute to further increasing the country's food security and export potential in the future.

These trees are valuable not only from an ecological point of view, but also from a scientific and practical point of view. One of the main tasks of the arboretum is to preserve the gene pool of plants. By multiplying fruit trees, park employees contribute to the development of varieties characteristic of the region, adapted to the climate. The abundance of fruit trees not only increases the attractiveness of the park, but also contributes to the stability of the natural ecosystem. In particular, species such as cherry and peach blossom beautifully in the spring, turning the park into a source of food for various birds in the summer months. Almonds and apricots are early-flowering trees that are especially well suited to the natural climate of the southern region. Their flowering adds a special charm to the spring beauty of the park. In general, cultural enrichment work in the park is part of the planned annual activities. Seedlings grown in a nursery are easier to adapt to the park territory, because they have grown and matured in these climatic conditions. This approach increases the adaptability of trees to life and allows you to form a long-term green belt. In addition to planting, work is also underway to increase the gene pool in the arboretum. At the same time, special attention is paid to the reproduction of rare, ecologically important plant species. Scientists and specialists are conducting systematic research on seed collection, seedling cultivation, introduction of new species, and adaptation to the natural environment. Such scientific and practical activities make a significant contribution to the preservation of the flora of Kazakhstan and ensuring environmental safety. At the same time, landscaping works also contribute to the formation of the ecological culture of residents. The increase in green areas is a step aimed not only at improving the ecology of the city, but also at strengthening people's connection with nature. The arboretum is not only a center of the plant world, but also a place of recreation, walks, and education for city residents and guests. In conclusion, the landscaping and cultural enrichment work carried out on November 16 is a long-term strategic step aimed at not only increasing the green resources of the arboretum, but also preserving its natural wealth. The large-scale planting of ornamental and fruit trees will improve the park's ecosystem, increase biodiversity, and strengthen the ecological image of the city of Shymkent. In the future, landscaping and increasing the gene pool will continue, and the natural potential of the arboretum will further develop.
