Purpose and Description of the Project. The purpose of the Project is (i) to improve the health and economic well-being of the people of the area and (ii) to promote industries, including tourism, the nation's largest foreign exchange-earning industry, by improving the water supply system, which currently does not have enough capacity to meet demand, and by expanding the system to meet future demand for water for both residential and industrial uses (including tourism). Utilizing existing water sources, such as the Vaturu Dam (built in 1982 / rock-fill type; total storage capacity 29 million m3), it is planned to complete the following works by the target year of 2005: (i) improvement and expansion of water supply facilities, (ii) solving the problems of water shortage and water pressure, (iii) improvement of water quality, (iv) expansion of the area served by the water supply system, (v) reduction of the percentage of water unaccounted for (1 - billing rate/production; from the 29% of 1995 to 26% in 2000), and (vi) improvement of the collection rate for the water charge. In addition, a study for a plan for the expansion of the sewerage system to keep pace with the increase in water supply will be carried out in order to protect the coastal environment, which is also an important tourism "natural resource".
