Description
General Objective
Implement investments to improve the physical and commercial efficiency of ODAPAS-Aculco, to provide services in adequate quantity and quality, to achieve sustainable and efficient water management, while minimizing carbon emissions and building resilience to the impacts of climate change.
Specific Objectives
A. To increase the supply of drinking water through the implementation of physical infrastructure, maintenance and improved management capacities that significantly reduce water losses.
B. Implement a commercial system that updates the user register, charges fair tariffs according to consumption and increases revenue collection.
C. Reduce GHGs and unnecessary costs using technological equipment and energy efficiency.
D. Increase sanitation coverage and methane capture from wastewater to help reduce environmental and public health impacts and risks.
Components:
1 Water Extraction, Piping and Distribution
• Energy Efficiency
• Reduction of electrical energy costs.
• Automated Pumping System
• Reduction of physical water losses.
• Hydraulic infrastructure: pipelines (44.5 km).
• Installation of drinking water treatment plant
2 New Integrated Commercial System
• Program to reduce the overdue portfolio.
• Modernization of the User Register.
• Implementation of micro-meters.
• Tariff studies.
• Continuous training of authorities and staff.
• Improvement of the institutional image
3 Sewerage System
• Expansion of 3.9 km of sewage system using PVC pipe.
• Acquisition of Vactor Truck 2100, with Tanker Truck Body and Vacuum Cleaner.
4 Wastewater treatment.
• Treatment Plant (30 lps) and rehabilitation of an existing one (18 lps)
Climate change contributions:
1. Implementation of equipment with low electricity consumption.
2. Reduction of the use of heavy machinery and transport equipment by smart infrastructure and technology.
3. Reduction of methane (CH4) from wastewater.
Model of operation:
- Federal Public-Private Partnership, which contemplates a Grant from FONADIN (National Infrastructure Fund), for 49% of the investment and private investment of 51%
- It is responsibility of the private company to operate during 15 years and provide the required maintenance to the infrastructure.
- 1 year for build + 15 years of operation (16 years).
- BOT (build–operate–transfer) in a Public–Private Partnership (PPP).
- ODAPAS delegates to a private company to design and build infrastructure and to operate and maintain these facilities for 16 years. During this period, the company is the owner of the facilities. The facility will be then transferred to ODAPAS at the end of the concession agreement.
- ODAPAS will pay monthly i) a fix tariff and ii) a variable tariff (depending the performance standards accomplishment)
- Guarantee of payments with federal government endorsement
- The Project generates revenues and savings that allow ODAPAS to pay the fee.
Follow-up mechanisms and governance
- Establishment of an Administration Trust and Project Payment Source
- The Trust registers all incomes and expenses, authorized by a Technical Committee, integrated by representatives of the Federal and Municipal Governments, private company and the financing Banks.
- Additionally, is hired an External Supervisory Manager.
- Every year is sent a progress report to the Federal Ministry of Finance (Being a federal APP)
6. CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
1.- Increase in Water Consumption. The water supply for both domestic and commercial connections will be constant, with no water cut-offs. Each user will have the water they require, according to their needs and willingness to pay. (6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all)
2.- Savings due to Water Diseases. The lack of drainage infrastructure and wastewater treatment generates stomach diseases in the population, so that medical attention and rest for people suffering from these ailments is necessary. (6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations)
3.- Savings from the purchase of pipes. Inhabitants who do not have a constant service, as well as those who are not within the hydraulic network, require drinking water to be supplied by means of pipes. This has a very high cost in terms of time, money, and effort. (6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity)
4.- Savings in water pumping due to greater efficiency of the drinking water distribution network. The hydraulic infrastructure for the provision of drinking water will be renovated, so that water losses in the distribution network will be lower. The exploitation of the aquifers will be more effective and efficient, in such a way that the differences between supply and consumption will be smaller. (6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels)
5.- Increase in the value of the land in area of influence. When the network is already installed and fully operational, the area will have an efficient supply of drinking water, there will be no bad smells because it will already have drainage and sewerage. This means an integral improvement in the wellbeing of the population in influence of the project and finally translates into an increase in the value of the real estate infrastructure. (6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations)
6.- Savings in electricity consumption. The most important cost of the operation of ODAPAS is the consumption of electricity. The present project contemplates the replacement of pumping machinery with greater energy efficiency, as well as an orientation of the entire organization to reduce the cost of electrical energy. (6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels)
7.- Financial self-sufficiency of ODAPAS Aculco. The final objective of the project of integral improvement of the management of ODAPAS is to achieve financial self-sufficiency, as it is currently in the red, i.e., expenses are greater than income. (6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels)
