The LGESP – additional financing has three outputs. Output 1 has been newly added for the additional financing.
Output 1: Water supply systems in CKD-affected areas improved. The additional financing loan will finance development and expansion of water supply systems in CKD affected areas in the four provinces (Central, North Central, North Western, and Uva) to provide continuous supply of safe drinking water. The schemes include development of new water supply systems and expansion of existing systems, mostly run by NWSDB. Facilities such as raw water intakes, water treatme nt plants, overhead tanks, and transmission and distribution networks up to household connections are eligible for financing. About 30 schemes will be developed or expanded, and will be implemented by respective provincial councils with technical inputs and monitoring support from NWSDB. Considering the nature and complexity of the schemes, the piped-network will be operated by NWSDB, except a few local authorities who have adequate operational capacity. If local authorities are identified to be the appropriate entity to implement the subprojects, such local authorities will first have to submit a reform plan, as practiced in the original project, prior to the subproject implementation. Project management unit (PMU), through design and supervision consultants (DSCs), will provide capacity augmentation for construction supervision, NWSDB will provide Technical Assistance.
Eligible subprojects include (i) environmental infrastructure such as water supply and sanitation (including sewerage), drainage,
