Greater Beirut Water Supply Project
www.ebml.gov.lbThe Greater Beirut Water Supply Project (GBWSP) is a project co-financed by the World Bank and the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE). It is executed by the Ministry of Energy and Water, and implemented by the CDR and the BMLWE. The project development objective is to increase the provision of potable water to residents in the project area within the Greater Beirut region, and to strengthen the capacity of the BMLWE in utility operations. The total project investment cost is estimated at US$370 million. The World Bank will finance US$200 million. The BMLWE will finance US$140 million. The GoL will finance the balance of 30 million USD. The Greater Beirut Water Supply Project consists of the following three components: Component 1: Bulk Water Supply Infrastructure: This component includes: (i) the intake structure at Joun hydroelectric power plant (HEP); (ii) raw water tunnel from Joun to Wardaniyeh water treatment plant (WTP); (iii) Wardaniyeh WTP; (iv) treated water tunnel from Wardaniyeh to Khaldeh distribution chamber; (v) Damour siphon and Khaldeh distribution chamber; (vi) twin transmission pipelines from Khaldeh to Hazmieh and Hadath; and (vii) three bulk storage reservoirs of 120,000 m3 total capacity at Hazmieh and Hadath. Component 2: Distribution and Metering: This component includes: (i) the construction of 24 supply reservoirs, dispersed within the project area; (ii) the replacement and/or installation of water supply network of about 450 km of pipelines as well as local reservoirs and pumping stations across four distribution zones; (iii) the installation of 200,000 meters; and (iv) the installation of approximately 30 bulk water meters. Component 3: Project Management, Utility Strengthening and National Studies: This component includes: (i) the setting up and the operation of a PMU consisting of key specialist staff to implement, monitor and report on project progress; (ii) the procurement of Utility Strengthening systems, equipment and technical advisory services (such as SCADA); and (iii) Pilot project to supply an area within Beirut 24/7.
