In the Turkistan region, work is being carried out using assets returned to the country to provide villages with high-quality water supply.
According to the government press service, more than 20 billion tenge was allocated from the Special State Fund for the construction and modernisation of water supply networks in the region.
Currently, construction of the Shardara group water pipeline, costing 5 billion tenge, is underway in the Turkistan region.
"From the fund's resources, 4.2 billion tenge was allocated for water supply projects in the settlements: Zhibek Zholy, Shengeldi, Ak Uy, Karatobe, Zhuantobe, Zhanadauir, Esikkorgan, Kuigan, and Aksu," the statement reads.
Work to provide water supply to rural settlements is also being carried out in the Saryagash, Kazygurt, Keles, Ordabasy, and Otyrar districts.

It is expected that 66 villages with a population of over 260,000 people will be connected to the water supply.
