Public Disclosure Copy Comment The data is from the impact assessment carried out in 2010-2011. In Cholpon-Ata, the share of people reporting poor water quality decreased by about a factor of two within the last year (2010-2011); average reported water quality also improved. There was no WS activities in Mailuu- Suu. In Talas, there was a significant improvement of water quality reported by users of individual stand pumps (increase of about 25%). In Tokmok, the project worked to improve distribution networks which resulted in significant increase of water pressure especially in the upper floors of apartment buildings.
