1. Background

i. Karachi, a megacity, is Pakistan’s premier Industrial and Financial center, and the economic capital of Pakistan. The city with its two sea ports is responsible to handle 95% of Pakistan’s foreign trade. Karachi is one of the ten largest cities in the world and its population is continuously increasing with a large number of citizens settling in informal settlements (Katchi Abadis). In addition, Karachi is also expanding horizontally and vertically, dovetailed with mushroom growth of commercial interventions.

ii. Karachi, like all megacities, has grown so quickly that it struggles to deliver basic infrastructure services, including potable water and wastewater collection and treatment. The water and sewerage utility, Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KW&SB), is no longer equipped or empowered to deal with the challenging reality on the ground. There is a huge unmet demand for water (550 MGD current capacity versus an estimated demand of 1200 MGD); and a high non-revenue water percentage (50-60 percent); Most of KWSB’s 1.1 million customers get water through the piped network on an irregular basis, and some just 2-4 hours every other day. There is currently no sewage treatment, as the city’s sewage treatment facilities are dilapidated and not working, resulting in an estimated 475 MG of sewage/day being discharged into the Arabian Sea. The utility has not had significant capital investment for more than a decade, and most of its infrastructure is worn out and operating far below its rated capacity.

2. IntroductionRealizing the rapidly deteriorating conditions of services in Karachi, the GoS requested the World Bank to carry out a study to develop a strategy for Karachi to transform it into a livable city keeping in view its importance for entire Country. The World Bank resorted to a Study namely Karachi City Diagnostics (KCD) that led to the release of a Karachi Transformation strategy which not only highlighted problems the Mega City is facing but also suggested targeted reforms with an indicative financial investment portfolio required to be spent in the next ten years’ time.

Following to the release of KCD findings, as a result of almost two years preparatory work of WB experts and a dedicated team of Engineers of KW&SB, a project was planned under the title of Karachi Water & Sewerage Services Improvement Project (KWSSIP). This Project will be funded by the World Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Government of Sindh at the ratio of 40:40:20.

KWSSIP aims to transform the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KW&SB) into a financially viable and technically well performing water utility that ensures clean, safe drinking water and sewerage services to the general public.

4. Assignment Part A: Rehabilitation of Water Supply and Sewerage in Three Low Income Communities4.1Objectives

The peculiar nature of problems this city is facing has led the planners of project to take up the matter of low income or underserved communities separately. The city now comprised of almost 40% of Katchi Abadis or informal settlements and not all of them have been regularized despite of two government department are dedicated for this purpose, one under the GoS and the other with KMC.

Given this situation, these small and large dwellings need special attention and exclusive arrangements from KW&SB and the GoS to solve their basic problems.

With this consideration, the sub-project for low income communities has been separately added to the Component 2 and it will continue to be reflected in the next coming phases of the project. This has enabled KW&SB to establish a Katchi Abadi Cell (KAC) staffed with a dedicated team of engineers, social and environmental experts along with engineering consultants and contractors to work closely with the communities and convince them to cooperate with the proposed improvements planned for their particular localities. The KAC will communicate with the residents / representatives of these Katchi Abadis. Detailed surveys shall be conducted to develop a database of these areas. Existing conditions of water supply lines and sewer network will be analyzed with the help of modern technologies. Records shall be gathered and kept for fresh water usage alongwith the capacity and type of sewage production of the area. Consultations and informative meetings shall be organized for the residents of KAs to develop a sense of responsibility about the usage, benefits, blessings and scarcity of water and efficient sewerage disposal.Effective communication between the KAC and representatives of KAs will make customer(s) satisfied by dealing with problems of the community at right time in an efficient manner. Further, a database for billing purpose shall be maintained. Door to door surveys will be conducted to identify the use of water and production of sewage from the community. By evaluating condition of water supply and sewer networks, the extent of rehabilitation needs will be identified and investments decision will be guided by the rehabilitation needs and funds availability.

The work will be carried out in broader consultations with all stakeholders of the communities with special emphasis on the women, to make it possible that at the end of the day a good quality sustainable service is provided to the community with a commitment of responsible use of water, the regular payment of monthly bills, safe use of water and maintain a good hygienic environment for a healthy and safe life. The Consultancy firm will require to carry out the tasks as follows:

5.1 Introduction

Karachi water woes are all inclusive and the system has been deteriorated in all sectors, be that it is the Bulk Water Supply side, the Main Trunk Distribution system, the Intermediate pumping stations or the end user level quantity and quality shortfalls. In a nutshell, infrastructure improvement is required in all the fields related to the entire water sector. This is the reason the project KWSSIP has been planned to cater all the development needs in a best possible and holistic manner in the next 12 years period so that the entire infrastructure is revamped for the decades to come. Under this first phase that is Series of Projects-1, some allocations have been made to put infrastructure works for the water sector of Karachi under the title of the priority water network improvement to initialize the process of revamping and rehabilitating the entire network, which will attain greater pace with larger investment in the subsequent phases of the KWSSIP. The breakup of this sub-project is as under:

i. Installation of Different sizes of Full-Bore Electromagnetic Water Flow Meters with Data Transmitter for real-time retrieval through SCADA System coupled with the Mainframe GIS Software to ascertain the actual water supplied to the city from the Bulk Water Supply System of Karachi.

a. This project aims to develop a real time knowledge base for all the concerned offices of KW&SB about the water flowing in the system by establishing a water audit system at the upstream level to check large scale unbilled authorized and unauthorized consumption of water to prevent real and commercial losses at that level of KW&SB’s Network.

ii. Establishment of District Metering Zones (DMZs) by replacement of required sections of Water Trunk Main System comprising of large diameter pipes ranging from 18" diameter to 72" diameter and installing master area meters, pressure reducing valves, air valves for leakage controls and non- return valves on elevated supply areas along with construction of RCC Chambers of valves and meters.

a. This work has been included in this sub-project with an objective of revamping the larger network of Trunk Mains for the immediate control

________________________________________________________________________________________________

of water loss through poor infrastructure leakages. While KW&SB has a mechanism of repairing leakages in the Bulk and Trunk Main system, however there are numerous points where the leakage once occur becomes almost impossible to repair given the condition of the Pipe.

iii. Procurement of Portable Leakage detection equipment that combines a Leak Noise Sensor and telemetry technology.

a. The equipment will be acquired coupled with the training provision in order to develop a team of engineers and staff capable to detect hidden leakages in the DMAs as well as other areas of the City.

iv. Installation of intermittent Chlorination Stations in the water supply network at the prescribed locations to maintain the residual chlorine to the end user level.

a. The quality of water is an issue and thus in first phase of KWSSIP an option of acquiring and installation of intermittent chlorination stations (stationary or mobile) has been included to ensure residual chlorine at the end user level. The identification of locations of these stations will be done through the historical data of lab-tests and their evaluation by the Consultants.
