Project Pipeline

The Second Ethiopia Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project (UWSSP II) is a large-scale initiative aimed at expanding access to improved water supply and sanitation services in Addis Ababa and 22 other secondary cities. The project is structured into multiple components focusing on both infrastructure development and institutional strengthening.

• Boreholes and Wells: Construction and rehabilitation of deep boreholes and shallow wells for groundwater extraction, including drilling supervision and groundwater assessment.
• Transmission and Distribution Networks: Installation of extensive pipe networks for water collection, transmission, and distribution. Examples include:
• Borehole collector pipework (e.g., 22.7 km in Adama)
• Transmission mains (e.g., 14.2 km in Adama)
• Distribution networks (e.g., 181.3 km in Adama; 70+ km in Godey).
• Reservoirs and Storage Tanks: Construction of reinforced concrete reservoirs and elevated storage tanks to ensure adequate water storage and pressure management. Capacities range from 250 m³ to 5,000 m³ per tank.
• Pumping Stations: Establishment of booster pump stations, low lift pumping stations, and installation of both submersible and surface centrifugal pumps for water conveyance.
• Water Treatment Facilities: Development of water treatment plants, including rapid sand filtration systems and chlorine dosing for safe water supply (e.g., Godey Town).
