Issyk-Kul to Establish Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility by 2027
A new wastewater treatment facility in Issyk-Kul will enhance sanitation for 100,000 residents and local tourism. The $64.9 million project, financed by ADB and led by China Road and Bridge Corporation, is expected to improve water purification to 98% and provide agricultural benefits.

The construction of a modern wastewater treatment facility in Issyk-Kul is set to be completed by April 2027, ahead of the original July 25 deadline. Designed to treat 14,200 cubic meters of wastewater daily, it will serve around 100,000 residents in Cholpon-Ata and nearby villages.
The total project cost is $64.9 million, with financing from the Asian Development Bank. Biological treatment methods will be introduced, improving the water purification rate to 98%, compared to the current mechanical methods.
Treated water and sludge will be utilized in agriculture, enhancing local irrigation and fertilizer options. This facility is critical for supporting the region's growth in tourism and improving public health.
