A private-public partnership between Hydrosystems INC and Enugu state Government/Enugu water board
Clean Water for the World
To Provide pipe-borne water services to trans-Ekulu and surrounding areas of Enugu state
Introduction
Introduction
Transekulu, a suburb of Enugu metropolis became home to new settlers about 40 years ago. Beneath the ground, are several layers of hard coal. This makes ground water exploration impossible. So, since the past 40 years, residents have had to purchase transported water for their daily needs. For the average household, this costs hundreds of thousands of Naira every year. Currently, there are over 1100 homes and about 33 hotels in Transekulu and the immediate vicinity.
Proposal
Proposal
Hydrosystems Inc, a privately owned company is proposing to augment the efforts of current and prior administrations in Enugu state by acquiring in 1-2 acres of land in the Ugwu Onyeama area where there’s an abundance of groundwater. Here, some commercial capacity boreholes will be constructed, and the water conveyed through 6- 8 miles of underground pipe water systems into Transekulu. The water will be supplied to homes who subscribe to the service. Water meters will be installed in such homes and consumers will make electronic payments for their water use/consumption. Once a customer runs out of “water credit” their meter will electronically trigger a shut off valve located in the street, several feet below ground.
Partnership
Partnership
Sustainable development and investment in infrastructure cannot be left alone to any government. It requires significant participation by the private sector. This public: private partnership if realized, will usher in development opportunities in other sectors in Enugu state. Hydrosystems Inc is prepared to lead the way in bringing this idea to fruition. We will leverage existing infrastructures and community resources as we do this. Once this proposal receives a positive review, we will assemble a team of water engineers and geo-physicists who will begin the foundational groundwork.
Funding
Funding
This project will be wholly funded by Hydrosysytems Inc. Preliminary estimates are between N500,000 million and N1billion.
Delivery Model
Delivery Model
We propose that Hydrosysytems Inc be granted a CONCESSION. In this delivery model, the Enugu state government will grant Hydrosystems Inc the exclusive rights to operate, maintain and carry out investments in water supply to Transekulu and surrounding areas, over a period of 30 YEARS.
