Sri Lanka : Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 1
The Investment Program will be implemented over a period of 8 years, from 2013 to 2020. It will be phased as follows: (i) $84 million for Project 1 in 2012 and (ii) $80 million for Project 2 in 2013, both focusing on reducing NRW and improving water service efficiency in Colombo; and (iii) $100 million for Project 3 in 2015; and (iv) $36 million for Project 4 in 2016, both of which will include improvements in wastewater services and expansion of the water supply and wastewater services to other areas of Greater Colombo. A similarly phased approach will be taken within the tranches and in NRW reduction efforts. NRW reduction will be tackled first in areas with greater physical and commercial losses, and therefore requiring more critical investment in infrastructure replacement.

| Description | The Investment Program will be implemented over a period of 8 years, from 2013 to 2020. It will be phased as follows: (i) $84 million for Project 1 in 2012 and (ii) $80 million for Project 2 in 2013, both focusing on reducing NRW and improving water service efficiency in Colombo; and (iii) $100 million for Project 3 in 2015; and (iv) $36 million for Project 4 in 2016, both of which will include improvements in wastewater services and expansion of the water supply and wastewater services to other areas of Greater Colombo. A similarly phased approach will be taken within the tranches and in NRW reduction efforts. NRW reduction will be tackled first in areas with greater physical and commercial losses, and therefore requiring more critical investment in infrastructure replacement. These include Mattakkuliya, Modera, Kotahena, Grandpass, and Bloemendal in Colombo North Area; Fort, Slave island, Kollupitiya (part), and Union Place in Colombo Northwest Area, and Welikada, Boralla, Dematagoda, Maligawatta (part), and Maradana in Colombo Northeast Area. These areas will be covered by the first tranche. During this period essential studies and modeling under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) master plan will also be conducted to inform subsequent tranches. | ||||||||

| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | An environmental assessment and review framework was prepared to guide the preparation of future tranches, and an initial environmental examination with an environmental management plan was prepared to for project 1 in accordance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement and government laws. The draft initial environmental examination concludes that no significant adverse impact is anticipated as a result of this project. It outlines a grievance redress mechanism to ensure easy and quick redress of any complaints or concerns during project implementation. The environmental management plan provides adequate mitigation measures for any foreseen construction impact, including traffic management to ensure limited disruption to trafflic flow and access. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | A draft resettlement plan endorsed by the government was prepared and disclosed for project 1 in accordance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement to address potential temporary income losses within the project area during linear pipe rehabilitation works, including temporary disruption of approximately 7,600 mobile vendors and hawkers for less than 7 days. Full road closure is not anticipated and work in busry commercial areas are being done during nonbusiness hours (i.e., nighttime) to the extent possible. |
| Indigenous Peoples | Considering the urban setting of the project and socioeconomic survey results within the investment program area, no impacts on indigenous peoples are expected, and an indigenous peoples planning framework is not required. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | Consultations with stakeholders and communities in project areas were conducted during project design. |
| During Project Implementation | During Project Implementation Consultations with stakeholders and communities in project areas are an ongoing process |
