KAZAKHSTAN TO DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
5.2.6 Willingness and Ability to Connect to Central Water Supply and pay Service Fees
Willingness to connect to CWSSA considerable number of respondents not connected to a CWSS noted that they want to connect (77%) . This figure amounted to 78% for rural residents (Table 5 .7) .

The survey evinced the high demand of the rural population for a central water supply . Over 90% of rural respondents in Atyrau and West Kazakhstan oblasts and 80% in Aktubinsk, Zhambyl, Pavlodar, South Kazakhstan, and Almaty oblasts indicated that they would like to get water into their houses by means of a central water pipe . Between the respondents willing to connect to a central water supply, a slight variation appears according to gender (women--77 .�5%; men--75 .8%) and age context (under and over 65 years) . The share of people aged 65 and over willing to connect to a central water supply amounts to some 70% .
‘Yes, all settlement residents would like to connect.’(Respondent, settlement in West Kazakhstan)
‘Certainly, we would like to connect (to a central water supply). We are tired of carrying water.’
(Female respondent, City of Zheskazgan)
However, some respondents do not believe that they will ever be connected . A respondent from a North Kazakhstan settlement which was cut off from an in-house pipeline water supply 15 years ago provided the following comment:
‘Certainly we would like to connect to a water supply, but we doubt this possibility.’
(Female respondent, settlement in West Kazakhstan)
Ability to pay for connectionNearly 8�% of all respondents willing to connect to an in-house water supply system affirmed that they could pay for the connection .
The amount that people are willing to pay for connection varies from less than 500 tenge to over 10,000 tenge, though most respondents (58%) noted that they could pay slightly over �,000 tenge . The amount people are willing to
77% of households unconnected to a CWSS wish to connect .

pay differs across the country (Figure 5 .10) . Nearly 40% of respondents in West Kazakhstan oblast, for example, are willing to pay �,000 tenge or more for connection, while in Akmola oblast most people who are willing to pay for connection cited the sum of �,000 tenge or less .
The main reason for people’s unwillingness to pay for connection is the price (59%) . A considerable part of respondents believed that connection costs should be covered by the state . Obviously, the price is the main issue for many people who cannot afford to pay for such costs .
‘All settlement residents would like to connect, but not all of them agree or could afford to pay for connection. There is a high unemployment rate in the settlement, and over half of residents survive by their subsidiary plots.’
(Female respondent, settlement in East Kazakhstan)
‘We would pay, but not all our neighbors can afford it.’(Female respondent, City of Zheskazgan)
‘We would like to pay, but we couldn’t. We have low salaries.’(Respondent, City of Uralsk)
Some respondents deem that the cost of the service should be shared, and one respondent from Kostanai noted that the connection cost should be covered:
‘…partly by owners, but mostly by the state.’
‘All residents of the settlement are willling to be connected to CWSS, but not all of them are able to pay for connection. There is a high level of unemployment in the settlement. More than half of the population survive by the means of their garden plot and subsidiary farm.’
(Female respondent, settlement in Eastern Kazakhstan)
Water tariffOf the 4,1�1 questionnaire respondents connected to a central water supply, only 1�� do not pay for water supply services . Of the remaining �,988 respondents, ��% pay �00 tenge or less for water each month, �1% pay �01-�00 tenge, and another �0% pay �01-500 tenge a month . Nearly 500 of the surveyed households (nearly 11%) pay the amount of 500 tenge a month for water supply services .
The sum paid by households for tap water depends on two main factors: the number of household members and the presence or absence of water meters.

FINDINGS OF SOCIAL SURVEY ON EVALUATION OF THE SAFE ACCESS OF THE POPULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF
KAZAKHSTAN TO DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
The sum paid by households for tap water depends on two main factors: the number of household members and the presence or absence of water meters .
In view of the presence or absence of water meters, it is obvious that households with water meters pay considerably less for water than households without water meters (Table 5 .8) . To illustrate, 75% of households with meters pay 100 tenge or less for water, and slightly less than �0% pay over 500 tenge a month . Clearly, the size of the household, monthly water fee, and the meter all demonstrate that small households (of 4 members or less) with meters pay less than same-sized households without meters . In the case of larger households, this correlation is not very clear: it is noted that larger households with meters pay more for water than same-sized households without meters .
Slightly over �8% of households not connected to a CWSS pay for water supply services . The survey findings demonstrated that households dependant on central water supply services are likely to pay for water, and they include a considerable part (nearly 64%) of respondents who receive water from common standpipes, for which they pay . Nearly 60% of households that use delivered water also pay for it . A considerably lower number of people that use water from individual sources pay for water .
The sum that households were able to pay differs significantly . On average, households pay �00 tenge or less each month for water supply services . However, people that use delivered water pay more for water (Figure 5 .11) .
In addition to the water fee, some people bear related costs . As shown, a considerable part of people boil water for drinking, and pay for the coal or gas used to fulfill this goal . Though it is impossible to count the real cost of water boiling, the questionnaire survey shows that electricity costs are the largest for many families . In the city of Almaty, households without gas meters pay some 180 tenge per person for gas . With the average size of a household consisting of three people and the assumption that �5% of this cost goes into boiling water, this adds some 1,600 tenge to annual water pay .
An even more expensive option resorted to by many households is the purchase of drinking water .
Willingness to pay for improved quality of water supply servicesAs in the questionnaire survey, participants of focus groups and in-depth interviews were asked whether they would pay extra for improved water supply services . Slightly over 4�% of questionnaire respondents answered that they would be able to do so . The percentage of respondents that expressed their willingness was lower in Astana and Almaty, and greater in Akmola oblast . It is not surprising that residents of two major cities are less prone to pay more . Residents of Astana now pay more for water than in most parts of the country . In Almaty, the security of the water supply is rather good, and it is unlikely that respondents would think that they should pay for any improvements to it .
Though many respondents (19%) who expressed their wish to pay for an improved water supply failed to answer the amount they could pay, 81% did provide an answer . Most of them cited the sum of �00 tenge or less per household per month, though a considerable part (�4%) of respondents indicated that they could pay �00 tenge or more for supplied water delivery in the quantity demanded (Figure 5 .1�) .
The main reasons for any unwillingness to pay for system improvements are additional costs and the availability of a sustainable water supply . However, a considerable part (15 .5%) believe that the state should cover the cost of the services, and another 1� .7% stated its lack of trust in the central water supply or secured water supply .

FINDINGS OF SOCIAL SURVEY ON EVALUATION OF THE SAFE ACCESS OF THE POPULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF
KAZAKHSTAN TO DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
Willingness to pay more for improved water qualityThe willingness to pay for improved water quality was also considered within the questionnaire and interviews . Overall in the country, over 45% of respondents expressed their willingness to pay for improved water quality . As regards a secure water supply, this figure was higher among respondents not connected to a central water supply . Respondents from Aktubinsk oblast are prone to pay more than respondents from Astana, Almaty, and Kostanai (Table 5 .11) . Of the people not connected to a central water supply, the figure significantly differed, and slightly over 71% of respondents in this category from Taraz expressed their willingness to pay; the corresponding figure in Atyrau came to 1�% .
As with a secure water supply, a large percent of respondents (�7%) who expressed willingness to pay for improved water quality could not cite which sum they would be willing to pay . For 50% of respondents, nevertheless, the affordable price was �00 tenge or less, and another ��% of respondents mentioned the sum of �00 tenge or more . Therefore, respondents are inclined to pay slightly more for improved quality than for a secured water supply .
A considerable number of respondents cited the main reason for their unwillingness to pay for improved water quality as being their inability to evaluate whether the water quality would actually be improved . This concern was expressed by a number of interviewees .
‘I would agree to pay, but as always, I’m afraid. The company may raise the fee but the quality would remain the same or worse and it would not justify the company’s actions.’
(Male respondent, City of Aksai)
‘I simply don’t believe that the water supply can be improved.’(Female respondent, settlement in North Kazakhstan)
Some people are not only unwilling to pay, but they think that they pay enough for water already .
‘We would like to improve water quality but we don’t want to pay extra money… We already pay for the operation of the water department and for unused water and untreated water flows. Who would give us a breakdown of the fee?’
(Male respondent, City of Rudniy)
Therefore, most people pay directly or indirectly for water supply services . Though it is hard to provide the exact sum paid by individuals, the amount is relatively high . Annually, household payment amounting to 10,000 tenge seems to be the norm . Coupled with indirect costs, this figure is higher in many households . Despite this, people have a strong desire to pay for water and, in particular, for improved water supply and water quality . However, people have no idea how much this service should cost . Individuals unwilling to pay see no problem with water supply, cannot afford extra costs, or believe that the state should cover such costs . All this should be taken into account when developing a comprehensive strategy . It is also important to note that the country’s water users have regular information on the net costs of water supply services as well as the measures taken to improve the system . Moreover, people should realize that if they do not pay for water directly, they pay for it indirectly anyway .
45% of respondents noted their intention to pay more for improved water quality.

FINDINGS OF SOCIAL SURVEY ON EVALUATION OF THE SAFE ACCESS OF THE POPULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF
KAZAKHSTAN TO DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
The second important goal of the questionnaire was the data on the sanitation level in Kazakhstan . The survey findings demonstrate that 4�% of respondents are connected to a central sewage system (CSS) . As with water supply, the level of sewage connection differs by oblast . In the major cities of Kazakhstan–Almaty and Astana--the sewage connection level is high . In other oblasts, the sewage connection level is below �0%; in South Kazakhstan oblast this level is below 15% (Table 5 .1�)
Respondents without sewage systems were asked if they wished to connect . Over 46% answered in the affirmative . Ninety percent of the population not connected to a CSS answered in the affirmative in North Kazakhstan oblast and 16% in South Kazakhstan oblast .
Respondents not wishing to connect to a CWSS basically cited lack of demand as the reason . For some respondents, there was the issue of payment, especially for residents of Aktobe, East Kazakhstan, and Pavlodar . In some oblasts, the main reason was the fact that the region has no sewage networks and it is impossible to connect .
Most interviewees (81%) wishing to connect to a CWSS stated their willingness to pay even partly for the connection . The amount they were prepared to pay was 100 tenge .
Lavatory typeCurrently, the most common type of toilet is a cesspool: 58% of respondents use such toilets; another 40% have toilets connected to a CWSS .
A greater number of toilets connected to a CWSS and sewage are available to the populations of cities of national status . To illustrate, 90% of respondents from the cities of Almaty and Astana have such toilets . In oblast centres, this figure amounts to 75%, and in towns to 60% . For comparison, only �% of interviewed residents of rural settlements have access to toilets with waste tanks connected to sewage . Even though a large number of people have modern toilets, 8�% of them suffer from irregular water supply, at which time their toilets dysfunction . Respondents said that they always take in water, but when water disconnections last, hygienic and sanitary conditions deteriorate, thus increasing the risk of diseases .
During the survey, it was discovered that 150 respondents (�%) share toilets with several families . Twenty-eight respondents stated that they have no toilet at all or use public toilets . The situation looks very pessimistic here .
‘The toilet in the yard is disastrous. It is used by 12 families… The toilet has no doors, and it is always overfilled. It was cleaned only once.’
(Male respondent, City of Uralsk)
‘We share a toilet with 8 families (24 people). It is a nightmare.’(Female respondent, City of Pavlodar)
Those with individual toilets would basically like to improve sanitary conditions . This is a topical issue for the northern region of Kazakhstan, where people mostly have outside cesspools . For many of these people, toilet use in the winter is difficult .
‘We would like to have an in-house toilet. We live in the 21st century but we do not have a sense of civilization.’
(Female respondent, rural settlement of Akmola oblast)
‘We would like to have an in-house toilet. It is very convenient to have an in-house toilet, especially in the winter time… A warm toilet is important for a woman in the winter, as there is every possibility of

(Female respondent, settlement of North Kazakhstan oblast)
Bath/showerOut of the entire sampling, 1,�50 people have no shower or bath . They mainly use conveniences at neighbors’ or relatives’ places or boil water in order to wash at home . A large percent use public baths, and some out of this number pay 50 to 100 tenge to do so .
5.2.8 public participation in Water resource Management
One section of a questionnaire asked respondents if they think that the public should have a share in water management issues . Overall, 68% agreed with the need to involve the public in the management process . This indicator came to 50% in South Kazakhstan oblast and 88% in Aktubinsk oblast . Responses did not differ by settlement type or respondent age, although it was expected by the authors that young people would be more actively involved than elderly people .

Respondents outlined a number of possibilities for the public to participate in the management process . The most common were the submission of letters to the government, the conduction of thematic meetings, and the participation of representatives in official committees . (Figure 5 .15)
Respondents who believe that public participation is not needed in the management process explained that the government would take notie of the water users’ interests .

KAZAKHSTAN TO DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
5.3. An Estimation of Safe Access to Drinking Water
After an analysis of the data, a general figure indicating the number of people without access to a safe, sustainable, and quality water supply system was obtained for Kazakhstan .
the share of the population connected to a central water supply system. The survey demonstrated that 55% or 4,14� respondents obtain water at home by central water pipe . Of these, 1,��1 people (17%) have water �4 hours a day, i .e ., sustainable water access . Of the surveyed population, 1�% or 96� respondents have sustainable water access and they think the water is of good quality . In summary, in Kazakhstan, some 1 .9 million people connected to a central water supply system have permanent access to quality drinking water (Figure 5 .17) . Table 5 .15 shows the situation in the oblast context .
The population that uses water from unprotected open sources such as public reservoirs, rivers, springs, lakes, or ditches, as well as delivered water may only be considered to have no access to drinking water . Therefore, of the 6 .7 million people not connected to a CWSS, 1 .58 million have no access to safe water .
Of the 1 .68 million that consume water from common standpipes, 6�% have periodical water cuts and consequently cannot be considered to have sustainable access to water . Coupling this fact with the water quality issues, the share of the population without sustainable access to quality drinking water increases from 6�% to 70%, thus adding another 1 .1� million people to the total number .
Of the 440,000 people that use water from public sources, 59% (�00,000) reported problems with sustainable water supply and water quality .
Of the nearly � million people that use individual water supply sources (standpipes and wells), some 50% indicated that their water is of poor quality . It follows that another 1 .5 million people have no access to drinking water . Moreover, this figure may be understated, as it is likely that underground waters are contaminated, especially when cesspools are located close to standpipes or wells . Therefore, it is likely that an individual source should not be considered an access to drinking water .
Consequently, nearly 4 .5 million people of 6 .7 million people not connected to a CWSS have no sustainable access to drinking water (Figure 5 .18) .
In Kazakhstan, 4 .0� million people (1 .9+� .1�) or �7% of the country’s population has sustainable access to drinking water .
Approximately 27% of the population or 4.45 million people across Kazakhstan have access to drinking water.
