Investment support will be provided to modernize and expand urban water supply and sanitation while strengthening relevant institutions to enhance efficiency, productivity and sustainability in water use. Udupi 24x7 water supply distribution network subproject is one of the subprojects proposed in Tranche 2. Categorization. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in its Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The proposed projects are categorized as A, B, C or FI to determine the level of environmental assessment required. Udupi water supply subproject is classified as Environmental Category B as per ADB SPS, 2009 as no significant impacts are envisioned. Accordingly, this initial environmental examination (IEE) report has been prepared. The bulk water supply components proposed under the government funding are essential for successful operation of this package. Thus, due diligence for both ADB and government-funded components have been included in this IEE. Subproject Scope. Subproject includes the following components: (i) clear water feeder mains of 7.47 kilometer (km) of diameter 150 millimeter (mm) to 355 mm to feed to new overhead tanks (OHT); (ii) 7 OHTs of total storage capacity 5.2 million liters (ML); (iii) distribution network of 358.17 km (diameter 150 mm to 355 mm); and (iv) replacement of 16,870 existing meters (m) and providing new metered house service connections of 15,000 for uncovered households. Distribution network pipes will be laid along existing road right-of-way (ROW) and OHTs will be constructed in government-owned lands. New water source from river Varahi about 38.5 kms from Udupi has been selected to meet shortage of water for summer four months. RCC Intake well, RCC Jackwell cum pump house and raw water pipe line for 38.5 Kms is proposed under AMRUTH Scope. Also it is proposed 30 MLD WTP at Baje to meet additional demand of Udupi under State fund. Implementation Arrangements. Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) is the executing agency responsible for overall technical supervision and execution of all subprojects funded under the Investment Program. Implementation activities are overseen by program management unit (PMU) established in its head office at Bangalore in coordination with its regional office (RPMU) in Mangalore. PMU and RPMU are staffed with technical, administrative and financial officials, including safeguards specialists, to manage and monitor program implementation. The implementing agencies are the respective urban local bodies (ULBs). For this package, the implementing agency is City Municipal Council (CMC) of Udupi. A program implementation unit (PIU) has been set up for implementation of day-to-day activities in the field. A consultant
