The objectivesof the project were to expandthe water supply and sewerage facilitiesfor the city of Bombay and further strengthenthe Water Supply and SewerageDepartment's (WSSD) implementationcapacity and its financialand operationalperformance. These objectiveswere to be achieved by: (a) continuingand expandingon the efforts of previous projects in improvingsector efficiencythrough improvementsin project management,procurement, billing and collections,and leak detection and repair in the WSSD; (b) expandingwater supply and sanitationfacilities for the urban poor; (c) increasingthe supply of water to the MunicipalCorporation of Greater Bombay (MCGB) area by 455 millionliters per day (Mld) to help reduce Bombay's deficit;(d) expandingBombay's sewerage systemin the isolated developedareas; and (e) evaluatingoperational experience and developingappropriate design criteria and technicaloptions for future investmentsin sewage treatment. 2. The appraised project included:(a) the constructionof 52 km of trunk mains with diameters up to 3000 mm, 49 km of distributionmains up to 1800 mm diameter, 9 km of transmissiontunnels, and intemal cement mortar liningof 76 km of pipeline;(b) the provisionof leak detection equipment, control equipment and system instrumentationand about 32,000 water meters; (c) constructionof a 455 Mld water treatment plant, four servicereservoirs and pumping stations;(d) constructionof about 54 km of sewers and the buildingand installationof sewagepumping equipment; (e) provisionof water supplyand sanitationfor the urban poor in slums;and (f) training,consultancies and vehicles. 3. While project objectiveswere clear and importantfor the developmentof water supply and sewerage in Bombay, it would have been appropriateto have specified,as an overall perfomiance objective,the achievementof an uninterruptedwater supply duringthe project period. If, during execution, attention had been given to such a performanceobjective, higherpriority might have been given to rehabilitationand strengtheningof the water distributionsystem, control of leakage and waste, and metering, billingand collection. All of these measures would have assistedwith water conservation. 4. The Government of India (Gol) and
