In Bishkek, water leaks into ditch as residents appeal to utility company

Residents of Bishkek are voicing concerns over a persistent water leak originating from a manhole in the Nizhny Jal microdistrict. The steady flow of water, observed near the "Jal Artis" microdistrict on Tynaliev Street, has been ongoing for an extended period, according to local accounts. This escaping water is reportedly draining directly into a nearby aryk, a traditional irrigation channel.

The situation has drawn particular criticism from the community due to its timing. Citizens point out the irony of the leak occurring while the municipal enterprise "Bishkekvodokanal" actively promotes water conservation efforts. Residents are questioning the utility's commitment to saving water when such a significant and visible leak is left unaddressed.

Eyewitnesses have highlighted the continuous nature of the leak, emphasizing that it represents a considerable waste of a vital resource. The community's appeals to "Bishkekvodokanal" aim to prompt swift action to repair the manhole and stop the unnecessary loss of water. The ongoing leak not only wastes water but also potentially impacts the local water supply and infrastructure.

Citizens are encouraged to report such issues, with contact information provided for reporting news via WhatsApp. The hope is that publicizing the problem will expedite a resolution from the responsible authorities, ensuring that water resources are managed more efficiently and responsibly within the city.

At the same time, 'Bishkekvodokanal' calls for saving water, and it flows directly into the aryk.
