W/S & SEWERAGE BOMBA

closed

Construction of a facilities required for the treatment, transmission and distribution of 450 million liters per day of water, and for improvement and extension of sewage collection, treatment and disposal; provision of public water taps and latrines for the slum areas; improved detection of water distribution system losses, repair or mains and metering; training and technical assistance. Because the Second Bombay Water Supply and Sewerage Project involves large and complex civil engineering works, there is a risk that temporary shortages of materials, lateness on the part of manufacturers in meeting contractual delivery dates, or lack of management skills on the part of contractors could lead to delays in implementation. However, BMC is expected to be able to minimize the impact of these delaying factors as a result of the experience and improved management techniques it has gained as a result of the first IDA-assisted Bombay Water Supply and Sewerage Project.
