ACCRA TEMA WATER SUP

closed

The project is the extension of the water distribution system in Accra and Tema, installation of water meters and other ancillary equipment, provision of a sewerage system for central Accra and related consulting services. The proposed credit would cover the entire foreign exchange cost of the project, and the proceeds would be applied towards purchase of water and sewer pipes and accessories, pumps, mechanical and electrical equipment and the foreign exchange component of installation costs and consultants' services. Though GWSC lacks experience in utility management, it has a number of qualified engineers and accountants on its staff. It is expected that the Accra-Tema area organization of GWSC, which is headed by a seasoned area manager, will, with the assistance of consultants, be able to carry out and operate the project satisfactorily.
