In Aitekebi District, the initiative to provide all localities with high-quality drinking water has been successfully completed. The launch of a centralized water supply system in the village of Akkum, in the Zhabasak rural district, has ensured that 100 percent of the district's population now has access to clean drinking water.

Construction of the facility in Akkum began in 2023. During the project's implementation, the contracting organization faced challenges, leading to a temporary suspension of work. Following a change in contractors, construction resumed and was successfully completed. The project was funded with an allocation of 168 million tenge.

Prior to this system, residents of the village relied on well water and had to transport it home themselves. This created additional everyday challenges for many families, especially elderly residents.

The celebratory event marking the launch of the facility was attended by Daulityar Tuguzyayev, Aitekebi District's mayor, village residents, and representatives of the contracting firms.

Currently, Aitekebi District comprises 27 localities. Centralized water supply systems operate in 22 of them, while the remaining five host modular water filtration complexes. As a result, every locality in the district is assured access to quality drinking water, achieving 100 percent population coverage.

Providing drinking water to rural areas is one of the key objectives under the President's directives for infrastructure development and improving citizens' quality of life.

In Aktobe, the reconstruction of a section of the heating network, which supplies heat to 65% of the old part of the city, is ongoing. The work is part of the preparations for the heating season.

During the overhaul of the heating system, old pipelines are being dismantled and replaced with new ones. Today, the Akim of the region, Askhat Shakharov, inspected the progress of the reconstruction on Karasai Batyr Street.

The renovation involves a 400-meter stretch of the heating network from Zhurgenev Street to Zhan Kozha Batyr Street, where the existing 530 mm diameter pipeline is being replaced with pipes measuring 630 mm in diameter. This upgrade will increase the network's capacity and provide more reliable heat supply.

At present, the dismantling of the old pipeline is complete, and the new pipes have been installed. The project is currently in its final phase — channel construction. A total of 21 specialists and 16 pieces of specialized equipment are engaged in the process.

The heating network in this area was originally commissioned in 1967, with the last repair conducted in 2007. The cost of the reconstruction is over 366.7 million tenge. The work is being carried out by the company's own resources and is scheduled to be completed by September 25.

Following the inspection, the regional head instructed the responsible services to adhere to the established deadlines and prevent any delays in the work on the heating supply facilities.
