The water supply system in Grenada (100,000 pop.) is old, the quantity and quality of potable water are insufficient. Leakage is in the order of about 50% in most water supply systems.
​
The objective of the project is to rehabilitate / replace water supply transmission and distribution pipelines in Southern Grenada so that leakage is reduced to about 20% and to improve potable water quality by the upgrading / provision of necessary equipment for ​
seven water treatment plants:
​• Annandale (460m3/hr),
• Mardi Gras (46m3/hr),
• Les Avocats (73m3/hr),
• Windsor Forest (34m3/hr),
• Mamma Cannes (114m3/hr),
• Petit Etang (75m3/hr) and
• Pomme Rose (34m3/hr).
​
The rehabilitation / replacement of the water supply system pipelines (20km) concern:
• Les Avocats - Richmond Hill system: 7.5km (200mm), 660m (150mm) and
1km (100mm)
​• Pomme Rose system : 600m (50 mm)
• Petit Etang water system: 1.9km (150mm) and 360m (100mm)
• Petit Etang potable water system: 4.5km (150mm) and 3.7km (100mm)
The project also involves the preparation of Terms of Reference for the leak detection programme, implementation of a hydraulic model / GIS software and training as well as supervision services.
