This will be achieved through (i) rehabilitation and expansion of existing water and wastewater systems, and (ii) enhancing the capacity of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) to sustain water and wastewater services. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured)PHRPDODEL To improve the quality and efficiency of water supply and wastewater service provision in Gaza and assist in restoration of basic water supply and wastewater services through: (i) rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing and damaged water and wastewater systems, and (ii) enhancing the capacity of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) to sustain water and wastewater services.

In addition, the disbursement suspension that was imposed on 02 March 2017 was lifted on 29 September 2017 after the Recipient met all the agreed conditions for restoring disbursements. The Project will close on 31 December 2017. It is expected that it will have disbursed about 84 percent of its funding by that time. Before the suspension went into the effect, the project has achieved the following results and progress. The Project management unit (PMU) and the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) have rehabilitated major water and wastewater infrastructure, which has contributed to the improvement of quality and efficiency of the water supply and wastewater services. Disinfection efficiency at acceptable level of 99.35% has been maintained since late 2016. The disinfection efficiency rate is measured by testing the level of positive residual chlorine for 580 sampling points spread over the Gaza strip. To improve the water and wastewater system efficiency, five water reservoirs (Deir Al Balah of 4000 m3, Al-Mograka water tank with 3000 m3 capacity, Bani Suhaila tank of 4000 m3, Khoza'a of 2000m3 and Al Kabira of 1800 m3) have been constructed and repaired after the conflict. Those water tanks mix desalinated and groundwater and have been connected to the system to serve the inhabitants in Nusirat, Deir Al Balah, Al Zawaida in the middle area and eastern villages in Khan Younis. In addition, the rehabilitation and restoration of 83 kilometers of pipe networks and almost 14,000 water meters were installed under the project financing. As a result, non-revenue water has been reduced to 34.0% as of the first quarter of the year 2017. Under the O&M program, pumps evacuated 135,000 m3/day of wastewater and 13,115 tons/year of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) are being removed annually. Rehabilitation and upgrading of electro-mechanical works and services were done for all water wells in the project areas, and a number of old and less efficient pumping units have been replaced by more efficient systems. This has lead to a significant reduction in the specific power consumption per cubic meter of water to reach 0.39 kw/h/m3. In total, 1.9 million inhabitants (of which 49% women) in urban areas were provided with access to improved water sources and over 1.9 million inhabitants benefitted from restored water supply and wastewater services. Furthermore, the wastewater services were improved to 77.2% average load removal, and the risk of flooding was eliminated because of rehabilitating deteriorated pumping stations. About 100,000 people (49% females) in the project area have benefited from improved wastewater facilities. The Project has also contributed to improving collection efficiency, from 25% at the start of the emergency involvement, to more than 47% as of September 30, 2017.
