OnpresentationsWith the participation of the President on Monday, the goal was set to increase the coverage of drinking water supply to 90%, and sewerage services in cities to 80%. To achieve this, it is planned to attract additional investments in the amount of $1.3 billion.

It is noted that as a result of this, 310 thousand residents of 107 mahallas will for the first time have access to centralized drinking water supply, and the water supply will improve for 2.5 million people living in 453 mahallas.

Responsible persons were instructed to complete the feasibility study of the project as soon as possible and determine the source of its financing.
