In Almaty, the 'Industrial Zone' pumping station has been technically relaunched after several years of inactivity. This facility provides additional capacity to the water supply system for the western part of the Alatau district, which is particularly crucial during the summer season when the network load significantly increases.

The station is designed to supply water to about 30,000 residents as well as industrial facilities. The additional capacity will enhance the stability of water supply to more than 100,000 residents in the northern part of the Nauryzbay district and the southwestern part of the Alatau district.

The station's relaunch followed comprehensive restoration efforts. After a long period of inactivity, it was necessary to conduct a technical audit, restore equipment and cable lines, and ensure that all primary engineering systems were operational.

Specialists restored the power supply, control panels, and transformer equipment, and also inspected and repaired the pumping units. Moreover, a new cable line was laid, and a series of commissioning works were completed.

The restoration work was executed by the Almaty Department of Energy and Water Supply, in collaboration with the municipal enterprise 'Almaty Su', contractors, and with the support of sponsors. As part of the social assistance provided, 2.4 km of power cable was purchased for the station.

The return to operation of the station has created an additional reserve of water supply capacity, which is of critical importance during the summer months when water consumption increases substantially.

An eco-event for the collection and recycling of waste is set to take place in Almaty. On October 11, 2023, residents will have the opportunity to see how ordinary plastic caps and other waste can be transformed into valuable recycling materials. The ecological event will be held in the Almaly district on the grounds of the Lake Town residential complex, as reported by Eco Almaty LLP.

The event is organized by ECO Network, an ecological community that promotes waste separation culture and conducts educational activities for city residents in Almaty.

Participants can expect a mobile eco-platform, acceptance of pre-sorted recyclables, and interactive activities. One of the highlights will be the 'bicycle shredder,' where attendees can shred plastic caps themselves and witness a step in the recycling process.

Items such as plastic caps and bottles, paper, bags and other polyethylene, glass jars and bottles, batteries, light bulbs, and aluminum cans can be deposited at the event.

Separate collection starts with a simple action—properly segregating waste and bringing it for recycling.

Important Rule: All materials submitted must be dry and clean, organizers remind participants.
