Senators of Republic of Kazakhstan Amended Water Code to Provide People With Good Quality Drinking Water

Today, the session of the Senate of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan chaired by its Speaker Maulen Ashimbayev considered and adopted two draft laws initiated by the MPs.

One of them amends the Water Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the provisions of distribution of competences among the representative, central and local executive authorities on potable water subsidizing. It aims at the reduction of water tariffs for the rural population. The tariffs will be defined based on the social and economic development of a particular region, which will be an important step in addressing the water provision issue in rural areas.
