It will also provide for technical assistance designed to improve project implementation and operational capacity of the EPEA.
The project includes a 75 km aqueduct and pumping mains which will deliver 220,000 m³/d, 110,000 m³/d of water, respectively; pumping facilities at Lake Assad; service reservoirs; and distribution mains to serve the high level area of the city inhabited by the urban poor and target for future growth.
