Objective: |
Rehabilitation of
the water supply and sanitation of five towns of Vlora, Fier,
Lezhe, Saranda and Gjirokaster |
|
Description: |
This project would be a follow-up
of the ongoing PHARE projects. Examples of components which
could be included are:
- rehabilitation of the Vlora water supply and
distribution
- renewal of most of the Gjirokaster water supply and
distribution
- similar components for the other towns
|
|
Preparation Status: |
The detailed
engineering and tender documents of the Vlora water supply,
financed by PHARE, started in February 1999 and should be
completed within 11 months.
For Gjirokaster, the PHARE consultant in charge of the design
for the emergency works will provide recommendations for
additional water works and a general feasibility for the
sewerage network. |

Economic/Financial Justification: |
In view of the
very unsatisfactory state of existing water supply and
sewerage systems, rehabilitation is an urgent requirement and
economic analysis indicates that the economic rates of return
exceed 10% |
