BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Kyrgyzstan is
constructing a drinking water supply system in Sabyrov village of
the Leilek district in the Batken region.
According to the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and
Processing Industry of Kyrgyzstan, the project is aimed at
modernizing the existing drinking water supply system and providing
the population with safe and high-quality drinking water.
"The Department for the Development of Drinking Water Supply and
Wastewater Disposal is constructing a drinking water supply system
in Sabyrov village of the Leilek district in the Batken region as
part of the ‘Improvement of Climate-Resilient Water Services’
project. The project is aimed at modernizing the existing drinking
water supply system and providing the population with safe and
high-quality drinking water," the statement said.
The existing water supply system in the village was built in
1988. Currently, water is supplied by gravity from springs located
in the southern part of Min-Zhygach village, while water
disinfection is carried out manually. Water is supplied to
residents according to a schedule.
Due to deteriorated infrastructure and numerous sections prone
to breakdowns, the existing system does not ensure the required
level of reliability, safety and drinking water quality.
The department’s project implementation team is carrying out
work aimed not only at providing residents with water, but also at
creating a sustainable water supply system that meets modern safety
standards.
Connecting every household to the water supply network is an
important step toward improving living conditions for the local
population.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in the second half of
2027.
Following completion of the project, more than 700 residents of
Sabyrov village will have uninterrupted access to clean drinking
water. This, in turn, will help improve sanitary and hygienic
conditions in the region and contribute to the prevention of
infectious diseases.
