The source is the United Water Company. According to the management team of the regional office of United Water, supply in Kvareli’s streets regenerated under the Project is currently maintained 24 hours thanks to sufficient resources at the source and the fact that breaks have been completely eliminated in these rehabilitated sections of the network. In the case of Telavi it is also technically possible to maintain 24 hours supply. However, this is done only when resources at the source are sufficient since these streets can be supplied from a spring that has abundant supply part of the year. Note that the team is in agreement with the M&E firm and the independent review that “project areas” needs to be interpreted as the supply network in two streets in Telavi and Kvareli which were rehabilitated under the project, not the entire water supply network in the Kakheti region (as there is no cause-effect relationship between what the project financed and the number of hours of supply in the entire region).
