The Project’s PDO is to: (i) to improve the quality of water and wastewater services in the Durres Utility Service Area; and (ii) to improve the financial performance of Durres Water Utility. 1. Bulk Water Supply Works: The project is now firmly on track to be completed by May/June 2019. Practically the works in Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been completed. Within Phase 3 of the works, 31.2 km have been installed – a level that accounts for 83% of the total length. With this advancement all main works are expected to be finalized earlier in the year 2019, so testing and commissioning can begin. 6/13/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Water Sector Investment Project (P102733) 2. Durres City Primary Network Configuration works: The pipe line works have been awarded to PWT by Addendum No. 4, based on technical risk minimization and the contractor’s successful performance to date. This approach will also help to speed up the construction as the contractor is already mobilized on the site. 3. Network Zoning, NRW and 24/7 service: PIU, DWU and the Bank are still considering the options for how to advance with these activities. The most practical way forward is for DWU to continue with internally planned interventions including the development of a monitoring system at critical points (service reservoirs, city inlets, critical pressure points) supported by the Project. 4. Wastewater Network Investments. The works on secondary and tertiary networks in the Beach area have been completed. Works to separate storm water and wastewater networks in the Durres City area are underway and planned to be completed by next summer. 5. DWU Performance Review January-October 2018. DWU presented a comprehensive review of the commercial performance of the company for the ten months of 2018. The results are indeed remarkable. More than 4,800 new contracts have been signed and almost 7,500 new customer meters have been installed (which takes the metered customers to 92% of all customers). Billed volumes for the period January – November reach 7.09 million m3 – an increase of 9% against the same period last year. Increase in billed volumes of business customers (33% increase) and institutional ones (47% increase) contribute to the highest level. Collection rate has also achieved a marked increase – total collection for the ten months of the year reaches 98.8% vs. a level of 83.9% for the same period of 2017. In addition, for the first time in its recent history, DWU has reached cost recovery of its operations costs. Cost coverage by billing reached 113% for the period January – October and cost coverage by collection – 109%. The respective figures for the same period in 2017 were 77% and 64%. The substantial increase in both billed volumes and collection rates, combined with improved control over costs, account for these achievements.
