The development objective of the Municipal Water Project for Armenia is to support improvement of the quality and availability of water supply in selected service areas of the Armenian Water and Sewerage Company. There are three components to the project. The first component is investments in water supply systems. This component will finance: design, implementation and supervision of the rehabilitation of water systems in the cities of Masis, Echmiadzin, and Ashtarak, including their neighboring rural settlements. The works will include rehabilitation of water networks linked to operational efficiency and reduction of non-revenue water. The goals of the investments are to finance physical infrastructure that is technically sound, cost effective, reliable, and that reduces technical losses. The second component is Armenian Water and Sewerage Company (AWSC) Investments. This component will finance: (i) water meter replacement and installation of meter chambers in several cities and villages throughout the AWSC Service Area to reduce commercial losses; (ii) automation of pumping stations and reservoirs; and (iii) procurement of equipment and machinery for the improvement of Operation and Maintenance (O and M) system of the AWSC. The third component is AWSC management strengthening. This component will finance: (i) about two years of fees for an Enhanced Management Contract (EMC) to improve AWSC administration, operations, maintenance, and ensure optimal implementation of the program investment fund; and (ii) technical studies, project management and monitoring, including independent technical audits, financial audits and operating costs.
