Notice Title

DFID 7739 Engineering Management Services to Rehabilitate Freetown Water Supply, Sierra Leone - Contract

Notice Description

The Rehabilitation of Freetown's Water Supply System project was approved by the Secretary of State for International Development in June 2016. The main elements of the proposed rehabilitation works have been identified by GVWC engineers with support from a DFID funded Technical Assistance programme. The Evidence on Demand 'Engineering Review Report' details the Works to be rehabilitated as part of the this project The water supply to Freetown is in a critical situation. It relies principally on a single source, Guma Dam, which was built in the early 1960s, supplies only around half of the city's theoretical demand and is vulnerable to climate effects. Inadequate water from municipal systems forces the population to seek informal sources seriously increasing the hazards to health and the risk of disease.
