Abobo (Abidjan) Drinking Water Distribution Network Optimization Project (NRW)
(2022-02-01 - Ongoing Project)
Network optimization that includes:
- - Network sectorisation in measured distribution sectors chambers at each sector entrance and exit; with flow measurement
- - The pressures control with the installation of pressure-reducing valve chambers;
- - Replacement of undersized pipes;
- - Network extension in underserved areas;
- - Installation of cast iron overhead pipes or buried HDPE pipes with anti-pollution barriers in areas at risk of health hazards;
- - Replacement of all connections with new connections and all meters with smart meters
- - The replacement of mechanical meters at the outlet of the boreholes with electromagnetic flow meters;
- - The installation of a continuous leakage monitoring system on the large-diameter supply pipes;
- - Sensitization of the population to ensure good practices are maintained after the work has been completed.
