Drinking water coverage in Andijan region reaches 93%

Active work continues in the Andijan region to improve drinking water supply and sanitation services. In recent years, 1.5 trillion soums have been directed to this sector, thanks to which the level of drinking water supply to residents has risen to 93%. Today, this is the second highest indicator in the country after Tashkent.

To further strengthen the infrastructure and improve the water supply for one million people, the construction of the second line of the Khanabad-Andijan main water pipeline will begin next year.

At the same time, work on upgrading the wastewater system continues. In Andijan itself, 9 kilometers of sewerage networks are currently being reconstructed, and the allocation of the necessary funds has already been provided for the modernization of the remaining 15 kilometers.

In addition, due to dynamic population growth, a decision was made to double the capacity of wastewater treatment plants in the Altynkulsy district.

The responsible agencies have been instructed to start implementing this project next year.

From October 1, tariffs for drinking water and sewerage services will increase in the Tashkent region. For the majority of the population, a cubic meter of water, including VAT, will rise in price by 19.2% to 3,472 soums, and wastewater disposal by 15.4% to 1,680 soums. For budget organizations and other legal entities, the increase will range from 6.7% to 33.3%.
