the Cairo Water Supply II project will provide funding to construct the required storage reservoirs at Darrasa and Abassia and transmission lines from the Fostat Treatment Plant to these reservoirs. The project will also help upgrade the distribution system thus improving the efficiency in the Rod El Farag service areas. GOGCWS will assist home owners in connecting to the public sewers and water mains by distributing the connection charges over reasonable monthly installments. This service will continue after the project is completed. in addition, this project will strengthen the institutional capacity of the water authority thus increasing its efficiency, its operation and maintenance capability, and revenue collection and accounting capabilities.
