Micronesia, Federated States of : Weno Water Supply Well Remediation Project
The overall goal of the Project is to provide secure and safe water supply to the residents of Weno Island in Chuuk State. Specifically, the Project will (i) develop water demand forecasts for Weno Island up to the year 2020, and identify potential sources of water to meet long-term demand. A willingness to pay (WTP) survey and a tariff study will also be undertaken; (ii) increase the quantity of water abstracted from groundwater sources to reduce the gap between demand and supply; (iii) improve the quality of water delivered to water supply consumers through chlorination; (iv) decrease the incidence of waterborne diseases; (v) train water supply personnel to maintain the water supply wells; and (vi) increase community awareness on the need to use water wisely and to protect watersheds.

| Impact | Improved living and health standards on Weno Island. | ||||
| Project Outcome | |
|---|---|
| Description of Outcome | Secure, accessible, and safe water supplies to communities on Weno Island. |
| Progress Toward Outcome | Most areas on Weno Island have access to a continuous water supply. The exception is the southern side of the island which is sparsely populated and not serviced by the public water supply system. |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | 1. Consumer embrace water conservation. 2. CPUC's water and sanitation services are financially and technically sustainable. 3. CPUC is able to meet consumer demand for piped water. 4. Water supplied by CPUC is potable. |
| Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | A willingness to pay survey implemented. A program of water quality monitoring was designed and is being implemented. 29 water supply wells have been recommissioned. All water distributed by the CPUC water supply network is treated. The project is now complete and is currently being closed. |

| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | The design, preparation, and implementation of the Project adopt a participatory approach as follows: (i) The Project was designed through a series of stakeholder meetings in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) including the Chuuk State Government, the FSM National Government, and CPUC. (ii) During implementation, the Project will be guided by the Chuuk State Infrastructure Planning and Implementation Committee (IPIC). The Chuuk State IPIC has representatives from the Governors Office, the Department of Planning, the Chuuk Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Transportation and Public Works, and CPUC and is chaired by the Lieutenant Governor. (iii) Community involvement through participation in the community awareness program to promote conservation of water by reducing water consumption and wastage and to highlight the need for tariffs. (iv) A series of stakeholder meetings and workshops will be held throughout the implementation of the Project to seek stakeholder views. Where possible, the Project design will be amended to address stakeholder concerns. |
| During Project Implementation | Stakeholder meetings and workshops were conducted throughout the implementation of the project. The Chuuk Womens Council was instrumental in facilitating effective community consultations which contributed to a greater awareness among the community on water conservation, water quality and hygiene issues. |
