The outline of the project is summarized as follows:

(1) Project Title: Study of the Vientiane Water Supply Development Project

expanding industrial and domestic areas, solutions are urgently required to deal with the rapid

increase of water demand.

(3) Purpose of the Project: To contribute to the improvement of basic human needs through
the

improvement of the facilities and the institution of the water supply system. To expand the

service area and increase the population served by utilising the expanded water supply capacity.

(4) Project Location: Vientiane Capital City, Lao PDR

(5) Executing Authority: Water Supply Authority (WASA)

(6) Beneficiary of the project: Five hundred and sixty four thousand (564,000) persons to be

served by the system in the target year of the Master Plan 2020, or 85 % of population in the

service area.

(7) Components of the project

1) Sort of the project: Master plan of expansion and improvement of the water supply

system

2) Classification of project: Potable water, and partly industrial use

3) Water Resources and quality: River surface water, acceptable for potable water

4) Water Treatment Plant: Horizontal flow sedimentation, rapid sand filtration, and

disinfection by chlorine.

- Total capacity of the existing facilities; 101,750 m3/day

- Additional planned production capacity (100,000 m3/day. )

5) Project Background: Development of the water supply system to deal with a rapid increase

of water demand is urgently required due to urban population increases, upgraded living
standards, and an expanding industrial and domestic area.

6) Transmission Facilities: New transmission mains of 13km in length

7) Distribution Facilities: New distribution mains of 98 km in length and a new reservoir

with pumps (distribution centre)

8) Miscellaneous: Operation Buildings

9) Others and particular: None

6.2.2 Condition of the project

1) Project Title: Study on Vientiane Water Supply Development Project

2) Sociology

a) Local inhabitants (inhabitants, aborigines, awareness of the project): Present and

future inhabitants of the urban area of the capital city. The inhabitants desire to have

safe and reliable water supply system.

b) Infrastructures (wells, reservoir, water supply/power supply): The customers are

not satisfied with the present water supply because the water supply pressure in the

service area is inadequate. The inhabitants in the future service area use untreated

water from rivers, ponds or wells. Many inhabitants also buy bottled water for

drinking. The public power company supplies eighty (80) percent of households in Vientiane
Capital City.

c) Sanitation (epidemic disease, illness/hospital, habit, etc.): Infant mortality rates in

Vientiane Capital City is higher than those of the neighbouring nations. There are
many cases of viral disease such as Dengue fever, diarrhoea, etc.
