Other areas, including the village of Chon-Aryk, the "Jal-23" microdistrict, and several "Archa-Beshik" and "Ak-Bosogo" residential areas, will experience similar disruptions. Multiple other residential areas and villages, such as "Ak-Orgo," "Kolmo," Zarechnoye, Sarban, and Jal, are also scheduled for power, water, or gas supply suspensions throughout the day, with varying timeframes.

Additionally, a specific district bounded by Rostovskaya, Krasnodontsev, Cherepki, Bayalinova streets, and Zhibek Jolu Avenue will have its natural gas supply temporarily suspended from August 25th to 26th. These planned outages are likely for essential maintenance and infrastructure work.
