Kazakhstan allocates 218 billion tenge for construction and reconstruction of water supply systems

By the end of 2025, 100 percent of Kazakhstan’s population will have access to quality drinking water. The country’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation states that work in this direction is being carried out systematically. Currently, around 30 projects are being implemented simultaneously in nine regions. The plan includes reconstructing and constructing 2,000 kilometers of water pipelines. This year, a total of 218 billion tenge has been allocated from the state budget for the construction and restoration of water supply and sewage systems. According to the relevant ministry, the majority of these funds are earmarked for projects in rural areas.

«As part of administrative reform aimed at ensuring and organizing the livelihoods of the local population, the Ministry is transferring group water supply systems to the balance sheets of local executive bodies to enhance water management efficiency,» Kazakh First Vice Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Bolat Bekniyaz said.
