Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program (Tranche 3)

Closed

ADB and the Government of Sri Lanka are working together to improve water and wastewater management services in and around the capital city of Colombo. The Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program (Tranche 3) is improving the efficiency and financial sustainability of water supply and wastewater services in Colombo. This includes rehabilitating the city's water supply network and reducing the amount of water that is leaked or distributed without payment. The project is rehabilitating and expanding the city's wastewater system and constructing a wastewater treatment. This is improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of residents in the greater Colombo area, including women and the poor, who will have more time for productive activities because of 24-hour water supply.
