AS part of the Inter-American Bank (IDB) loan to improve the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) services and capabilities, the WSC recently signed a $1 million contract with Adin Holdings Ltd.

This loan focuses on New Providence and supports the WSC in non-revenue water reduction, WSC institutional strengthening, rehabilitation and upgrades of wastewater infrastructure and preparation of a wastewater treatment master plan and upgrading the legal and regulatory framework.

The objective of the contract is to develop a 20-year wastewater master plan which provides a comprehensive framework for suitably rectifying current conditions and implementing environmentally friendly, sustainable wastewater services in the future. The plan will address collection, treatment, and disposal needs and includes technical, economic, social, environmental and financial analysis for the proposed works.

This contract is expected to last 12 months with the improvement and upgrades identified in the immediate term to be completed within the next two to three years. WSC is looking forward to working closely with the consultants and the IDB in this major step to improving sewerage services throughout New Providence.
