A difficult energy supply situation has emerged in Kerme-Too village, Osh region. Due to worn-out wires and poor-quality poles, residents cannot use electrical appliances simultaneously in their daily lives.

Electricity and water problems

According to a local resident, the current state of the networks makes using appliances practically impossible. To operate one device, another must be turned off. The situation is complicated by the fact that villagers manufactured poles for outdoor lines themselves from poplar trees, and the wires are heavily worn. Although residents installed a transformer on their own, it does not fully solve the problem without replacing the lines themselves.

"To turn on one appliance, you have to turn off another. Residents made the poles for the outdoor power lines themselves from poplar trees. The wires are heavily worn. And winter is approaching."

In addition to the energy crisis, the issue of providing the population with clean drinking water has remained unresolved in the village for 10 years.

Measures to solve the problems

City authorities have begun infrastructure renewal works. As Vice Mayor for Urban Economy Ernis Toltoev reported, 1,800 poles were purchased for the city this year, some of which were directed to the needs of Kyzyl-Kyshtak.
