From January to September 2026, 1,104.6 km of new water supply networks were commissioned in Uzbekistan. At the same time, 96.2% of the constructed communications were in rural areas. Such data was published by the National Statistics Committee of the republic. A total of 1,062.6 km of water pipelines were laid in rural areas, which should help expand the population’s access to centralized water supply.

Samarkand Region became the leader in terms of construction volume, where 575.1 km of new networks were commissioned in nine months. The Republic of Karakalpakstan took second place with a figure of 198.8 km, and third was Jizzakh Region, where 167.2 km of water pipelines were built. Thus, the three regions accounted for the bulk of the commissioned communications.

In other regions, construction volumes turned out to be noticeably more modest. In Fergana Region, 92 km of water supply networks were commissioned, in Kashkadarya Region — 45.6 km, and in Andijan Region — 25.9 km. The statistics reflect the length of specifically new networks commissioned between January and September 2026.
