Launch of Integrated Service for Tracking Water, Heating, and Electricity Consumption Scheduled in Kazakhstan
Livened-Up Revision:
Our Deputy Prime Minister, Kanat Bozumbaev, has called for the creation of an electronic platform for procurements and contractor selection, with the expedited launch of Smart Turmys. Smart Turmys, a digitized center for the tracking of water, heat, and electricity, shall also include a call center and a user-friendly website for citizens, investors, and contractors.
The ultimate goal is to bolster control, minimize risks of corruption, and make communal services trustworthy and up-to-date. As the article notes, these advancements are intended to make the modernization process transparent across the energy and communal sectors.
Chatterbox:
- Baursak.: Gosh, this modernization might just increase our expenses even more.
- Nur Nuru - Baursak's Buddy: Probably, but at our expense.
- Valdemar: Please, focus on proper verification of water meter readings. They charge insane amounts without just cause. My own experience resulted in a steep 7,000 tenge bill after saying everything was fine.
- Johann_D.: The new systems might just give our officials more opportunities to exploit us, citing "system errors" and inflated readings for their personal gain. There's little trust in them, much like in some banks where people's money vanishes. They can do whatever they wish now, and things will only get worse in the future across all sectors.
- Ashat: This new approach is spot-on, but the execution is what we should worry about. Our officials often botch things up, ultimately leaving the common people to suffer.
- Johann_D.: With the new systems, officials will likely wring even more out of us, finding ways to write off costs and exaggerate readings, all while hiding behind "system glitches." There isn't a single iota of trust in them!
- асхат: Great plans, but the execution is the issue. Our officials have a knack for messing things up, and in the end, it's us who suffer!
- Столичный: Another hidden fee?
- Муслим Хасанов: As a regular consumer, I propose that utility providers finance and supply their own water meters, ensuring reliable online platforms.
- O'SEKА: When will they create a unified platform to track government budget expenditure, accessible to all taxpayers?
- Не нур нуров: Just copy the systems from countries where they work effectively without the need to reinvent the wheel.
- Курт: These initiatives are nothing new. Essentially, the state car number plates, fines, phone registrations, and now proposed communal services are all being outsourced to private companies.
- Roza: Interesting, what about data security? With sensitive information like names, addresses, apartment sizes, debts, etc., in one place, what measures will they take to prevent data breaches?
- Монгол: So, this platform will require money to operate. Great, another hurdle for the people to cross.
- askar:The utility providers won't like Askar Mustafin, Pavlodar
- Rukha: Why won't they like him?!
- Tlekshi: With pipes for heating and hot water laid out for each apartment, why can't we adopt autonomous small boilers like those used in Europe? This could save significant piping costs, operational fees, and maintenance expenses. The world has done this, but not the former Soviet Union.
- Davyd: Each individual boiler requires constant maintenance, making it an expense for residents. Moreover, who will supervise the TB and ensure safety standards are met? Our officials have a history of taking kickbacks and corruption, so it will only become 100 times more expensive.
- men: Individual boilers will be much more expensive for residents than central heating.
- Oleg: Low-rise buildings might benefit from autonomous boilers, but in high-rise structures, a single exploded boiler could bring down the entire building.
- Capital Resident: These initiatives save money for some, but we freeze in the winter. I prefer it when my apartment stays warm, even if it means higher costs during the harsh cold.
- Amigo: Negative
- Tlekshi: Respectable folks, the entire European continent relies on this method, and their boilers seldom explode, despite the same level of danger from gas. The technology today offers sufficient protections against any gas leak or pipe burst.
- Baursak.: Of course not. 😁
- Sarbaz: In G Balhash, they waste drinking water by irrigating trees and fountains when there's a nearby lake.
- Don Berna: There's still no water everywhere. Give water to all countries, cities, villages, rural settlements, and regions, free and paid.
- Terms of Service: Enter your email and password. The password must be at least 6 characters long.
- Technology can play a significant role in education-and-self-development, particularly if they create a unified platform to track government budget expenditure, accessible to all taxpayers (O'SEKА).
- The adoption of advanced technology in communal services like autonomous small boilers could lead to a more efficient and cost-effective method for heating, promoting education-and-self-development by reducing financial burdens on the people (Tlekshi).
