In 2025, Uzbekistan will implement 21 major projects to provide the population with drinking water and connect homes to sewage systems. The total cost of these projects is $800 million, with part of the funding provided by international financial institutions, including the Asian Development Bank and the German Development Bank.
Key project areas:
- Construction of 138 hydrotechnical structures.
- Installation of 1,619 km of water pipelines and 521 km of sewage networks.
- Development and renovation of 162 infrastructure facilities.
As a result, 715,000 people will gain access to clean drinking water for the first time, and 675,000 residents will be connected to the sewage system.
Digitalization and acceleration of the project To speed up implementation, pre-approved contractors and designers have been selected. Additionally, the Asian Development Bank has allocated $125 million for the digitalization of Uzbekistan’s water sector. These funds will be used to install 4,800 smart meters and approximately 3,000 telemetry systems.
Currently, 81% of settlements have access to drinking water, but only 20% are covered by sewage systems. These new projects will significantly improve Uzbekistan’s water supply and sanitation conditions.
