UMA Engineering Ltd., Calgary, Canada | AGRA Earth & Environmental, Calgary, Canada
The Third Bombay Water Supply and Sewerage Project will be part of a continuing program to expand the water supply and sewerage facilities for the city of Bombay to keep pace with increasing demand from population growth and expansion of industrial and commercial activities. The project will (a) provide an increment of 455 million liters of water per day to help reduce Bombay's current deficit; (b) expand Bombay's sewerage system; and (c) provide site specific sanitation and water supply facilities to serve the needs of the urban poor. It will further (d) strengthen the operational efficiency of BMC's Water Supply and Sewerage Department (WSSD) in areas including revenue collection, financial planning and audit controls, and water waste and leakage reduction. It will also provide investment and operational designs and improvements in leakage detection, repair and financial management capacity. In addition, BMC/WSSD, as a well-run public utility under full municipal control, will provide sector leadership in the Region through the demonstration of increasingly efficient financial management and operation to other conurbations.
