Beneficiary: Water Authority. Amount: US$30 million equivalent. Terms: 15 years, including three years of grace, at the standard variable interest rate. Relending Terms: Same as the Bank loan. The WA will bear the foreign exchange risk. Project Description: The project would improve water supply service and provide new sewerage service in the cities of Ramtha, Mafraq, Anjara, Ajloun, Ein Janneh, Kufrinja, Madaba and Ma'an. It would include: (i) construction of about 110 km of trunk and distribution water mains, 8,000 m3 of reservoir storage and supply of water meters; (ii) construction of about 177 km of trunk and collection sewers, 14,000 house laterals, 4 waste stabilization pond systems, an imhoff tank and trickling filter system, one sewage pumping stations and force mains; (iii) supply of operating equipment; and (iv) consultant services for supervising the construction contracts. The project will follow through the institutional development efforts of a previous Bank loan and of the USAID for which adequate funds have been provided. The main beneficiaries of the project would be the low and middle-income families of the eight project cities. The Water Authority (executing agency) has good experience with the construction and operation of water supply and sewerage systems, but has less experience with water and sewage treatment. While there is a risk of delay in construction and of inadequate operation of the sewage treatment plants, this risk is minimized through the use of experienced consultants, progress monitoring, the use of simple treatment processes, and the available institutional development assistance.
