Final The World Bank P a g e " 1 24h July 2016 Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform – CWA Diagnostic Report - Final 1. Background The Government of Mauritius (GoM) has requested the World Bank to provide Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS) in the form of strategic advice and support for the design and implementation of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) for the Central Water Authority (CWA) and for potable water sector reform in GOM's territory. This shall include, amongst other deliverables, a study of the institutional framework and performance of the CWA, its operations and activities to date, an assessment of the risks associated with the most suitable PPP structure and a roadmap for the transaction and associated legal and institutional reforms, including terms of reference for transaction advisors. The Bank's Advisory Services are not intended to be a full diagnostic of the water sector and PPP options in Mauritius but rather focused advice - largely based on looking at past reports and studies (such as a PPP feasibility study and due diligence of the IFC in 2003-4 (IFC 2004 Report)) as well as more recent work carried out by various consultants - to make strategic recommendations on the most feasible PPP option, key design features of the PPP schemes, and road map for the reform, taking into account most recent data available. The World Bank appointed Jalakam Solutions Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as the 'Consultant') to undertake the diagnostic study focused on technical due-diligence for establishing the current performance status of CWA. 2. Objective The objective of this study is to assist the project team in the analysis of the technical aspects of the proposed PPP reform, including (i) assessing CWA operational performance, (ii) reviewing and validating CWA's investment program, (iii) providing projections for revenues, opex and capex for the financial model, and (iv) providing inputs for the key design features of the PPP scheme. The Consultant visited CWA during 14th -23rd March 2016 and 1st - 7th April 2016, and undertook technical and financial due-diligence and performance evaluation through a series of discussions with the senior management staff, review of existing study reports, as well as field visits and presents the findings hereunder. CWA is responsible for managing the potable water to all the customers (domestic, non-domestic, commercial and industrial) in Mauritius as well as provision of non-treated surface and ground water for irrigation and business purposes. For the purpose of current study, the revenue data for both potable and non-treated water business is provided but the analysis is limited to the potable water business only. 3. Report Structure The report presents the findings in three sections (i) Part 1 provides the background and summary of existing water supply services; (ii) Part 2 presents the summary on the CWA' operational performance and (iii) Part 3 provides the details of proposed service improvement plan with necessary proposals and costs including implementation timeline. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 2 24h July 2016 4. Review of existing water supply services The Central Water Authority (CWA) historically had been providing a reasonable level of water services to the local population with over 99% coverage and meeting the growing needs of the developing economy. However, in the past decade, CWA had been witnessing lower than required performance in respect of managing water losses in the networks, resulting in operating inefficiency and increased rationing of available supplies to the customers. In turn this has led to hardship and increased risk to public health as well as rapid degeneration in the condition of infrastructure. This situation coupled with lack of demand management, low tariffs and inaccuracies in metering and billing is further affecting the service levels on a downward trajectory. CWA had over the last couple of decades implemented a Non-Revenue Water reduction program by dividing the networks into District Metered Areas and undertaking periodical leak detection and repair. Despite the efforts, the level of Non-Revenue Water has generally remained at over 55%. During the period between 2004–6, CWA with funding from European Investment Bank hired Severn Trent Water on a short term technical service contract with limited improvement in performance. Recently CWA partnered with the consortium led by Singapore Cooperation Enterprise and implemented a focused NRW reduction program in MAV Upper zone. While appreciable improvements in data management and monitoring had been witnessed, as well as capacity building, this did not result in sustainable reduction in NRW and CWA continues with the intermittent water services in a substantial part of the service area. Works are ongoing for pipe replacement and so impact of the activity is not yet established. 4.1. Service Areas CWA operations are divided into six geographically distinct operating zones as shown in the following figure1 . Figure 1 – CWA Operating Zones 1 Areas in white are mountain regions with protected forests and limited habitation Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 3 24h July 2016 The summary of CWA infrastructure for potable water in each of the operating zones is shown in the following table.

Water Resources The water resources in Mauritius have their origin and are maintained by the rain. The long-term mean annual rainfall over the island is about 2,000 mm pa (1971 - 2000). The topographical features of Mauritius enhance the rainfall, and the annual rainfall over the island is about twice the amount experienced over the surrounding ocean. In spite of the relatively small area of Mauritius, the variability in the spatial distribution of annual rainfall is very prominent and varies from about 1,300 mm on the east coast to more than 4,000 mm at the plateau and down to 600 - 800 mm on the west coast. The variability in mean monthly rainfall over the year is rather uniform across the island. In average some two-thirds of the annual rainfall occurs in the summer period, i.e. from December to April, due to passage of low pressure troughs and occasional tropical cyclones. The dry season is between May to November. The water resource balance for the island is given below.

Potable Water Production CWA produces about 46% of treated water from surface water resources and about 54% of the treated water from boreholes. 6.1. Surface Water CWA operates six water treatment plants as per the details below.

The WTP at Pailles has been rehabilitated and commissioned recently both to increase the effectiveness of treatment process as well as to increase the production capacity from 60,000 to 80,000cum/day. In the case of La Marie WTP, CWA is implementing process improvement works to ensure more effective and efficient settlement of sludge during high turbidity events. Similarly, CWA has planned implementing treatment process improvement works in all other WTP locations under the Build Mauritius Fund (BMF) and initiated procurement of consultants. 6.1.1.Proposed Augmentation from Bagatelle Dam With a view to cope with seasonal deficits in water resources as a result of climate change, and to address the present unsatisfied and projected demand for potable water in the Port Louis and MAV Lower operating zones, CWA proposed to set up a new WTP and accompanying distribution pipelines from the Bagatelle Dam (25 Mm3 dam annual storage capacity). The source augmentation project being implemented under a loan from the Government of Mauritius (GoM), comprises the construction of a 60,000m3/day capacity rapid gravity filter plant, associated storage reservoir and transmission facilities, is split into 4 contracts the status of which is as follows: i. Construction of Bagatelle Water Treatment Plant (est. cost: Rs 1.25 billion) (status: Award delayed as case challenging award is still in court). If and when it is awarded, construction period expected to be 18 to 24 months Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 2 24h July 2016 ii. Construction of Feeder Pipeline from Municipal Dyke to Pailles WTP (status: completed and pipeline in service) (project value: Rs 144.5M) iii. Construction of Pipeline (8km) from Bagatelle WTP to Soreze (Est. cost: Rs 144.3M) (status: Award imminent) iv. Construction of Pipeline (8km) from Bagatelle WTP to Belle Rose and Rose Hill (Est. cost: Rs 87.8M) (status: Award imminent) With the completion of Bagatelle bulk water facilities and transmission system, the MAV Lower zone should get good relief from the chronic intermittent water supply. Also availability of 60000cum/day surface water with the proposed water transfer grid would ease the dry season shocks currently experienced by CWA and facilitate more sustained reduction of NRW with the availability of spare demand. 6.2. Ground Water CWA as of 3rd March 2016, had installed 164 bore holes with a total pumping capacity of 6243kW. The spatial distribution of the boreholes in given below.

The total water production trend is analysed below. Figure 3 – CWA total water production trend It can be seen above that there had been a slight dip (-0.2%) in production during the year 2013 and it increased by about 5% in year 2014 and by about 6% in year 2015. CWA informed that the year 2013 was a drought year and the utility had struggled to meet the demand due to shortage of resources and resorted to water cuts across the island.

Ground water production share was at 55% and later reduced to 48% in the drought year 2013 and stabilized at 52% in the recent times. ii. During dry seasons in each year, CWA produced more ground water by operating more boreholes. iii. MAV Lower is totally dependent on ground water at 100% followed by DWS South at 70%. iv. Port Louis had been witnessing substantial variation between share of ground water and it is apparently due to quality problems in Clairefonds source and the problem is said to be solved with the commissioning of the rehabilitation of Pailles WTP. 6.5. Adequacy Check of Available Resources An attempt is made to check the adequacy of the available water resources, by comparing the future demand to the current production levels both in the drought year of 2013 and the normal rainfall year of 2015. CWA Master Plan projected future demand for potable water with the following assumptions. i. Increase in per capita consumption to 175lpcd by the year 2025 and 180lpcd by the year 2050 ii. Reduction in Non-Revenue Water to 40% by the year 2025 and 25% by the year 2050. An attempt is made to compare the projected demand with that of lowest production occurred in the drought year 2013 and also during the normal rainfall year of 2015 and is presented below. Table 8 – Comparison of Projected Demand with Actual Production in the year 2013 in cum/day Comparison to drought year 2013 Comparison to normal year 2015 Operating Zone Demand at Tap in 2025 Production Difference Losses permissible Production Difference Losses permissible PL 57540 109075 51535 47% 109527 51987 47% DWSN 90410 117005 26595 23% 128498 38088 30% MAVU 59180 107479 48299 45% 108209 49029 45% MAVL 101920 112103 10183 9% 122019 20099 16% DWSE 44390 76338 31948 42% 96702 52312 54% DWSS 52610 79072 26462 33% 107397 54787 51% Total 406050 601072 195022 32% 672352 266302 40% It can be seen above that except in MAV Lower the available production as achieved in the normal year of 2015 is reasonably sufficient to meet the demand needs in the year 2025 provided CWA institutes a focused and structured program of water loss control to reduce the average losses to 40% from the present level of 56%. With the advent of Bagatellle with capacity of facilitating an additional resource of 40000cum/day for MAV Lower, the CWA would be comfortable with the available resources even during the risky drought years. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 8 24h July 2016 The adequacy check, against the production volume during the drought year 2013 shows that CWA requires additional efforts to contain the water losses so as to insulate the customers from water rationing or water cuts. If the water loss reduction program is coupled with demand management measures like rationlisation of domestic tariff and robust customer meter maintenance program, the available resources during a normal rainfall year would be able to meet the demand needs even in the year 2050. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 9 24h July 2016 7. Water Networks CWA in the six operating zones distributes both treated surface water and chlorinated ground water. The water distribution sectorisation was implemented over time with about 256 District Metered Areas (DMAs) established for non-revenue water control. The information management in regard to flow and pressure measurement and leak detection was practiced up to about 2005 but later the NRW unit was disbanded and limited to just record keeping. It is understood that the integrity of the DMAs has been neglected but could be revived with relatively small investment. 7.1. Composition of Networks The details of water network infrastructure are abstracted below.

Under the recent NRW reduction project undertaken by CWA in MAV Upper the survey for establishing a GIS system has identified 815km of mains up to 20mm size showing a variance of 20%. The drawing office has an established system of updating the asset data before a bill is paid for in the Planning & Development (P&D) division. However, in case of networks laid by private real estate developers (Morcellemonts), the power to issue no-objection certificates on the quality and performance of network works is with Operations Division and as such these privately developed networks are said to be not efficiently captured by the central database. In addition, the Operations Division also carries out pipe renewal programs of short lengths under maintenance, the details of which are not captured at all. The size wise distribution of existing networks is provided in Annexure 1. Applying 20% variance, the total networks would be in the range of about 4,500km. 4 Source: CWA Drawing Office Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 10 24h July 2016 Figure 8 – Network Composition It can be seen above that slightly more than half of the networks are Poly Ethylene (PE) and Ductile Iron (DI) pipes whereas Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes constitute about 31% and cast Iron (CI) pipes about 7%.

Continuity of Water Services Due to increasing physical NRW resulting in absence of active leakage control, pipe deterioration and inadequate hydraulics of the distribution network (lack of pressure management), CWA resorts to rationing primarily to limit the physical losses, especially in the dry season. CWA has a quarterly monitoring system of supply hours in each sub-zone and the data pertaining to December 2011 and up to December 2015 has been analysed and shown in the figure below.

Commercial Services CWA has a customer services department with full electronic data processing although the systems are in desperate need of software (currently operating on Windows XP platform) and hardware upgrade. It is not however what one would expect from a true commercial department, more a billing department with little link with clients in practice as complaints relating to leaks and service are routed to the Operations division and customer services does not follow up on complaints and repairs. The commercial division is responsible for (i) meter reading, (ii) billing, (iii) bill delivery and (iv) managing CWA hotline of customer complaint management, but once the complaint has been forwarded to the Operations division the commercial division has no further involvement or follow up role. 8.1. Customer Categories CWA customers are divided into two global categories (i) Non-Treated Water and (ii) Potable water. The customers receiving non-treated water are further divided into some 10 sub-categories based on tariff charged such as irrigation, business, industry etc again depending upon surface or ground water. The potable water customers are further divided into 10 sub-categories such as domestic, commercial, industrial, religious trusts, agricultural etc. The number of customers at the end of year 2015 are shown in the following table. Table 12 – Customer Accounts in CWA Number of customer accounts Service Zone Non-Treated Potable Total Port Louis 42 49,186 49,228 DWS North 122 76,694 76,816 MAV Upper 78 68,920 68,998 MAV Lower 61 62,176 62,237 DWS East 16 43,780 43,796 DWS South 56 52,172 52,228 Total 375 352,928 353,303 8.2. Customer Meters CWA has in theory 100% metering of customers although about 60,000 meters are not working currently and the number keeps rising due to limitation in procurement of good quality meters. It is unknown how many meters are functioning but inaccurate. Meter reading is done and recorded manually monthly by 106 meter readers who report to the commercial manager with very little accountability to the field operations teams. Monthly billing is done at central office where the manual readings are then manually entered into the database. Bills are physically distributed to all field offices for delivery to customers. Revenue collection is done through ?? number of field customer service centers. 8,000 new connections are sanctioned on an average per year. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 16 24h July 2016 Due to qualification criteria for meter readers and also trade union pressure, there is significant lack of professional skills in the commercial division and it is compounded with limitation of vehicular transport due to shortage of vehicles. Despite these limitations the current revenue collection efficiency is reported by the commercial division to be around 99% with no significant customer debt problems. 8.3. Customer Complaints CWA's hotline part of commercial services has been outsourced under a performance based ervice contract (with Mauritius Telecom??). CWA hotline received an average of about 141,000 complaints per annum in the period during 2012 -15 with an average 24,000 complaints per each operating zone. Analysis of complaints is shown below. Table 13 – CWA Complaints Analysis Category 2012 2013 2014 2015 Average No Water 40% 38% 41% 36% 39% Insufficient Hours of Supply 3% 4% 4% 4% 4% Broken Mains 3% 3% 3% 2% 3% Broken Communication Pipes 20% 19% 13% 13% 16% Leakage 5% 4% 7% 12% 7% Meter Connection Leakage 3% 3% 2% 3% 3% Meter Reading 6% 7% 7% 6% 6% Excessive Bills 3% 4% 5% 5% 4% Others less than 2% 18% 18% 19% 20% 19% Inferences: i. Highest number of complaints about 39% were for 'no water'; in addition, the in-sufficient hours of supply account for 4%. ii. About 29% pertain to physical leakage with 16% on broken communication pipes. This suggest both a high frequency of visible leaks (35,000 call per year or about a hundred per day) and that the population seems fairly involved iii. Meter reading and excessive billing accounted for about 10% together The majority of complaints related to service performance and would have been forwarded to the Operations division for resolution, with no follow up by the hotline.

Consumption Analysis The trend of consumption in different operating zones in presented below. Figure 19 – Consumption Trend Inferences: i. Average consumption per connection per month is highest in Port Louis zone since the number of customers served per connection is highest in the urbanized capital city. ii. The aberration of high consumption during November 2012 could be due to delay in billing resulting in a spike iii. Despite the erratic intermittent water supply with least supply hours when compared to other zones, the consumption is not very different meaning the customers do get water they need and - 5 10 15 20 25 PL DWSN MAVU MAVL DWSE DWSS Millions CWA Sales in million cum/annum 2012 2013 2014 2015 0.00 5.00 10.00 15.00 20.00 25.00 30.00 35.00 40.00 Average consumption in cum per connection per month PL DWSN MAVU MAVL DWSE DWSS CWA Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 20 24h July 2016 possibly make coping arrangements through private storage. It may also possibly due to the effect of air in the pipelines, entrapped during rationing, resulting in over reading of meters. iv. DWS South being relatively less populated and also less economically prosperous has slightly lower consumption level. v. The stable consumption pattern indicates that the demand satisfaction level would be almost asymptotic with less possibility of any future increase in consumption. vi. This analysis does not take into account the customer meter errors but considering the principle of averages it may not substantially affect the future consumption levels. 9.4.

Non-Revenue Water An analysis of NRW in each operating zone is shown below. Figure 21 – NRW Trend in CWA It can be seen above that despite several attempts to contain NRW, it had been increasing year on year in percentage terms in the entire CWA operation area. In the case of Port Louis zone the NRW had been stable attributable to the concentrated urban area with higher density of customers per unit length of network. At the same time, the NRW level in percentage terms has been on a downward trend in case of MAV Upper (the pilot PUB zone) since the year 2012 but still remains high. The overall NRW increasing trend when correlated with the increasing trend in number of customers with 24x7 water services (See Figure 7) also indicates that it is the physical loss or leakage in the system which is contributing to the NRW. As the general percentage NRW level would not be sufficient to benchmark each operating zone, an attempt is made to project the same on a continuous pressurized supply (24x7) scenario as well as to compare in different performance indicators as shown below. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% PL DWSN MAVU MAVL DWSE DWSS CWA NRW in % 2012 2013 2014 2015 Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 28 24h July 2016 Table 23 – NRW Performance Indicators Operating zone NRW % NRW 24x7 L/conn/day L/meter/day PL 59% 65% 1,300 143 DWSN 54% 63% 907 74 MAVU 55% 62% 855 101 MAVL 64% 79% 1,245 117 DWSE 66% 71% 1,461 78 DWSS 65% 67% 1,325 81 Total 60% 69% 1,141 93 Notes: NRW % - NRW level in percentage terms; NRW 24x7 – Projected NRW if the network is charged for 24hour supply; L/conn/day – Litres per connection per day; L/meters/day is the NRW in litres per meter length of network per day Figure 22 – NRW Indicators Inferences: i. MAV Lower is the zone requiring immediate attention and relatively high investments in pipe renewal as the prevailing intermittent water supply is rapidly degenerating the networks. The current production is totally dependent on ground water meaning several smaller network zones. CWA has proposed to augment the resources from Bagatelle dam on its completion. Moving from disaggregated networks to more centralized supply system would tend to increase the physical losses further until checked and repaired on a rapid response regime. ii.

The high level of losses in litres/connection/day in Port Louis is also related to very old existing networks and also CWA's limit in timely repairs in the capital city high traffic operating environment. It could also be due to high commercial losses from meter errors as the general consumption per connection is higher due to higher number of customers per connection. iv. DWS East has highest losses in litres/connection/day and lowest in terms of litres/meter network length per day. This contradiction indicates that the commercial losses in the zone may be relatively high and also leakage on services pipes could also be high when compared to other zones. v. The projected losses in 24x7 service is lowest in MAV Upper indicating the continuous trend of reduction in losses in the zone including the recent intense efforts of NRW project implemented on partnership with PUB, Singapore, albeit that the improvements are modest compared to the resources spent during the partnership. 11. Review of NRW Project CWA established about 256 DMAs with flow and pressure management instrumentation commencing in MAU Upper the in the year 1995 as a pilot and then expanded in the entire island in 2001. There had been earlier (Year 2003-4) attempts with Severn Trent Water International funded by European Investment Bank to develop a strategy and action plan. After receiving strategic recommendations, CWA in the year 2005, decided to disband its internal NRW control unit by limiting the unit's activities to information management. Under this background Government of Mauritius invited the Singapore Government to provide the services of Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) for reducing NRW in CWA. MAV Upper zone was chosen and the project was implemented from July 2013 and up to June 2015 and further continued by CWA through internal resources. The project has undertaken following activities. Objective 1: Reduce NRW and improve water network efficiency through active leakage control and effective asset renewal i. Establish baseline, targets and leakage reduction strategy ii. Identify mains and communication pipes with the high failure rates and develop a justified asset renewal program optimised in line with the budget. iii. Manage implementation of pipe infrastructure renewal / modification works with contractors appointed by the Mauritius Government iv. Mobilise and manage field investigation contractors to carry out active leakage control & Leak Detection and Repair v. Implement pressure management schemes if supply conditions allow vi. Customer Meter Replacement Program Objective 2: Improve water network management / monitoring of the system i. Calibrate / replace bulk meters ii. Re-establish the existing DMAs in the Upper MAV System Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 30 24h July 2016 iii. Establish effective and intelligent monitoring and management of the water distribution system - data logging at key locations in the system iv. Establish good DMA and defects data management v. Establish a working GIS system vi. Establish a hydraulic network model Objective 3: To affect knowledge transfer to CWA to enable sustainable water network management i. Carry out required on-the-job NRW Management training of the CWA staff ii. Develop best practice procedures to support NRW Management including data analysis, GIS/modelling, active leakage control, material /equipment selection, engineering and contract documents, procurement and construction management. The project scope comprises of following.

Problems of workmanship with HDPE mains. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 31 24h July 2016 ii. HDPE to replace LDPE for house connections pipes iii. Pipe replacements program to be maintained and prioritized for the coming 3-4 years with a view to reduce NRW iv. New strategy for systematic replacement of ageing meters to be implemented v. Close liaison between NRW & Operations essential to maintain integrity of DMA's vi. Written down procedures to develop and maintain best practices Key observations on the physical achievements reported are as follows. a. 59% initial estimation of NRW was later reduced to 56% as the CWA existing bulk flow meters (mostly Voltman type mechanical) were apparently showing more flows with positive error and hence the production volume was to be readjusted by the NRW team b. Existing 47 DMAs were rehabilitated into 48 DMAs but NRW activities were implemented in 17 DMAs only due to shortage of resources and limitations of procurement restrictions c. Out of 815km pipe network, about 80km were replaced with 25m per day output per one construction management team including night working. d. NRW project accounts 69,069 connections up to end of February 2016 as against the 68,920 as per commercial services billing record at the end of December 2015 indicating that there had been limited effort to identify un-authorised connections. e. 15,828 dysfunctional customer meters amounting to 23% were replaced. On replacement it was observed that there was about 18% increase in sales volume for the meters that were changed. However, this cannot necessarily be fully attributed to higher accuracy of new meters as the analysis is also affected by generally increased water consumption during dry season. Further CWA has a practice of average billing (to be checked on number of months) and assuming two months average prior to meter's dysfunction the consumption would surely be about 15% less as the meter stops after running slow over at least a year. f. Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) have been procured to be installed in one sub-zone to reduce leakage (author has noted that CWA had already installed 2 PRVs which were dysfunctional due to lack of maintenance). g. 1,507 leaks were repaired during the CSE tenure followed by 670 leaks repaired by CWA internal team h. 13l/s minimum night flow (MNF) was observed when induced with 24x7 services which is generally in high range i. The project proponents have initially targeted to reduce the level of NRW from 59% to about 44% during the project tenure and to be further reduced to 25%. On commencing the project j. At the end of year 2015 the NRW level was 55% as against the adjusted baseline of 56% resulting in slightly more than 1% reduction. k. The team has analysed the effect of replacement of about 10,000 customer meters which has shown 18% increase in consumption when compared to the month of March and August (Please see figure 16 below). Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 32 24h July 2016 Figure 23 – Analysis of consumption from 10000 connections with replaced meters l. Normally a dysfunctional meter is billed based on average consumption the six billing months immediately preceding the month to be billed. m. However, this fact requires further analysis as in all the zones in the past four years the consumption keeps increasing during dry season which starts from April and goes up to October (please see Figure 8 – Consumption analysis) n. Another key lesson is the decision to switch over from HDPE pipes to DI pipes based on the pipe replacement position paper6. i. The position paper relies on the concern of bad workmanship on HDPE pipe laying and jointing and recommended usage of DI pipes also attributable to the fact that PUB has very low usage of PE pipes due to very high pressures and larger size connections. ii. In the same paper the authors quote UKWIR and AWWA recommendations on PE pipes having lowest leakage levels when compared to other pipes (pl see Figure 12 below) iii. The migration to DI pipes is also due to apparently the same cost of both PE and DI in the island. Surprising the PE pipe is locally made and DI is imported but PE fittings are to be imported into the island nullifying the advantage of locally made pipes. iv. Considering the small island economy and creation of jobs, it might be necessary to review this decision as the pipe material cannot be blamed for deficient quality control and supervision by the concerned staff. 6 Upper MAV NRW reduction project – Position Paper for Pipe Replacement Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 33 24h July 2016 o. One significant weakness of the project implementation is the institutional arrangement that the NRW unit was to directly report to the General Manager instead of head of operations. This has led to typical hands-off approach from the operations managers, compromising the accountability. NRW control has to be a continuous focused program of the operations team of a water utility for internalizing and sustaining the improvement achieved. Figure 24 – Extract from NRW Report on Pipe Failure 12. Review of Planning and Development Activities 12.1. Planning and Development (P&D) Division P&D Division is a weak division within CWA. It spends about MRU 400m investments per year with no strategic plan. Although it had a Master Plan prepared (Arcus GIBB), the result was of questionable quality. The Chief Engineer is retiring in a year and the Principal Engineers have an average of 15 years experience and the Executive Engineers are almost fresh graduates with very little training. There is therefore a significant need to strengthen capacity in this area. Project implementation is painstakingly slow despite outsourcing most of design and construction supervision activities. The average duration time for a procurement of pipe network is about 9 months. The average cost of outsourcing to local engineering consulting firms is about 6% with about half split between design and supervision charges. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 34 24h July 2016 Pailles WTP rehabilitation undertaken by a local contractor group has been badly delayed with the concrete walls leaking and sweating and ended up in litigation. CWA blames the consultant (GIBB) for poor construction supervision and delays. The proposed new WTW at Bagatelle dam is subject to a legal challenge of procurement decision in local courts with no clear date for resolution. Qualification criteria for procurement seems to be set to support local suppliers with a high level of mis-procurement and legal challenges. Quality assurance is almost absent resulting in low quality products and workmanship. In one pipes and fittings contract, the fittings did not fit due to quality control issues but the P&D had stipulated in the tender that that pipes and fittings should be of same brand and manufactured in the same factory. Most pipe manufacturers in the world do not make fittings and either supply them as bought out items or outsource them from fittings manufacturers under their brand, so making this stipulation hard to meet. This stipulation has created a near monopoly situation, with one local trading agency supplying a single brand pipes and fittings. In the recent NRW project, this stipulation was not followed by the SCE Project Manager and the team accepted pipes and fittings from manufacturers which are not permitted by P&D Division and the NRW team could complete the pipe replacement in much shorter time frame. 12.2.

This decision was apparently to avoid repeated road restoration requirements and also based on requirement of shifting of existing CWA water networks. WMA had been implementing some four contracts (Plaines Wilhems Sewerage Project) on behalf of CWA, mostly located in MAV Lower Operating Zone for replacing 110km of CWA existing networks. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 36 24h July 2016 Table 28 – WMA Contracts for Replacement of CWA Networks Sl.No Contract No. Location Network Length in Km 1 Lot 1A – WW80F West Rose Hill, South West and Central Quatre Bornes 50 2 Lot 1B – WW99F Rose Hill, Beau Bassin, Roches Brunes, Plaisance and Mont Roches 10 3. Lot 2 – WW81F Quatre Bornes, Sodnac, Belle Rose 50 Total 110 The above contracts have estimated and provided for110 km replacement but during implementation, CWA identified that a total of 150km needed to be replaced and the contract variations are still in preparation. The above contracts were entrusted to WMA in the years 2007-9 and are yet to be completed. While WMA completed most of the pipe laying, moving connections linked to the new networks is still in progress due to poor coordination between the local CWA operations units and WMA. Now that some of pipes laid are already 8-years old with no commissioning in sight it would lead to risk of poor performance of the assets even before handover to CWA. The above issue is one of the reasons for the MAV Lower Zone which is very densely populated continues to struggle with erratic intermittent water supply. In all the above ongoing works of pipe replacement with shifting of connections, CWA does not replace the customer meter. Even though it is stated that as long as the customer meter is functioning at the time of shifting of connections there is no need of replacement but the actual reason could be that the meter replacement is the responsibility of commercial division while shifting of connections is the responsibility of operation division. 12.4. CWA Proposed Investments GoM, recognizing the decline in water supply service levels both due to CWA's organizational performance and lack of required investment in asset management has launched an ambitious program funded under the "Build Mauritius Fund" (BMF) with the source of revenue from a cess on fuel. Under the 'Build Mauritius Fund', GoM has in Budget 2015, earmarked an outlay of MRU.3.6billion ($103million) for implementation of some priority water sector projects. These include replacement of old and inefficient pipelines in strategic locations (blackspot areas) including shifting of connections, increasing storage capacity by construction of new service reservoirs and construction of new and upgrading of existing water treatment plants. The basis for prioritization and selection of these projects is not clear with different perspectives provided by different divisions of CWA. The timeframe proposed by CWA for implementation of Phase 1 projects with an outlay of MRU 5.5billion ($157million which includes MRU 3.6billion already budgeted in FY 2015) is 2016-2018. In the second phase ie 2018-20 it is proposed to implement pipe renewal works at an outlay of MRU5.3billion ($151million). The proposed projects are listed in Annexure 2A and 2B. No resource plan has been identified and no project implementation for these projects has been developed. The P&D division had been struggling to appoint consultants for about a year. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 37 24h July 2016 The capacity of current CWA staff (P&D) is is said to be about MRU400million (per year and the SCE Project Manager could deliver MRU600million ($17million) in two years under the NRW project. It indicates that an outsourced capital works manager can deliver about MRU300million ($8.5million) per year and hence the proposed program would require at least five additional project managers. Another significant limitation is the capacity of local contractors which require substantial improvement through partnership with overseas contracting firms specialized in water supply pipe line works especially with trench-less technologies to meet the requirements of the Road Development Authority. CWA had tried to recruit three project managers from the local market but could not find suitable candidates.

Salaries & Wages do not include Planning & Development Division which are capitalized. ii. With power costs at 24% there is a potential for savings of up to 10% from non-revenue water management. For instance, the local operations staff under pressure due to intermittent water supply often resort to pumping from stand by pumps and stand by bore-holes assuming additional discharge. The amount of additional discharge of water (ie physical losses) from such parallel pumping would be about 20% due to increase in friction losses in the system and pumps operating at a far lower than the designed operating point. iii. Chemicals at 2% also has some potential for savings as in most of the water treatment plants the chemical dosing is very adhoc and not based on recommendation of scientific services resulting in excessive chemical dosing or wrong choice of chemicals. However, due to the dependence on imports this may have cost variations depending upon the global economic situation and maritime regulations 13.1. CWA Tariffs and Income 13.2. CWA has increasing block structure tariff regime Salaries & Wages, 486 , 48% Administrative Expenses, 174 , 17% Maintenance Expenses, 78 , 8% Power , 247 , 24% Chemicals, 25 , 2% Others, 5 , 1% CWA Operating Expenditure 2015 - MRU Million Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 40 24h July 2016 CWA charges volumetric tariff on increasing block structure tariff regime where the higher the consumption, the higher the unit rate per cubic meter. The current applicable tariff is provided in Appendix 1 as part of Data Volume A. GOM had in the year 2015 declared free water up to 6kl and later amended the same to apply only to consumers consuming a total up to that level, and not applying to consumers who consume more than that. The free water has only been made available since [March] 2016. As per analysis of the billing data (Table 16, Page 21) there were about 56254 customer accounts billed for a consumption range between 0 – 6kl. CWA is to be made whole by GoM for any shortfall as a result of the free water but CWA will need to monitor consumption carefully to ensure that consumers are not incorrectly being counted as below the 6kl threshold. 14. CWA Organisation CWA Organisation chart is provided at Annexure 3. The management structure is shown below. Figure 26 – CWA Management Structure Table 30 - Retirements up to Year 2020 Detail Number Approved posts as at 2016 1357 Employees Working 1007 Vacancies 350 Retirements 2016 17 Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 41 24h July 2016 2017 11 2018 25 2019 23 2020 47 It can be seen in the table above, that CWA's staff strength was 1007 for about 353000 connections at the time of study and it translates to 2.85 staff per 1000 connections. While this staff ratio is healthy for a well-functioning water utility but the CWA is currently on a downward spiral with deteriorating service levels and is in desperate need of rapid investments to put back into a reform path. Considering the short term (at least for next five years of investment timeframe) requirement of skills in project management, contract management, commercial services, water loss reduction and quality assurance, it is necessary to ramp up the skills and staffing numbers with at least another 300 skilled staff leading to a staff ratio of 4 per 1000 connections. Deploying such critical skills would not be feasible in the current public sector recruitment process and hence need to be mobilized by the delegated private sector. This would also boost the local employment opportunities and can attract return of Mauritian skilled manpower to the island provided the remuneration and benefits match with international labor market standards. 14.1.

Service Improvement Planning CWA over the past fifteen years, had made several attempts to improve the water services but did not meet with desired level of success. These attempts are summarized below. 15.1. NRW Reduction Consultancy Contract CWA hired the services of Severn Trent Water International to undertake the study and development of a strategy for NRW reduction. The consultant had completed base line studies and prepared a strategy for reduction but it was totally peripheral advice and CWA could not implement as it lacked internalized organizational improvement by the operations and commercial staff. In the recent NRW consultancy contract with the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) although reasonably good efforts were made by the external consultants it was limited to information management through GIS, hydraulic modelling, some pipe renewal and capacity building of the NRW team in CWA. Due to very nature of structure of the NRW team not being part of operational or commercial divisions, with no oversight or input in respect of meter reading, meter readers or meter replacement or pipe laying, the results from the efforts were just about 1% reduction in NRW over 2 years. 15.2. In-sourcing of external professionals CWA with the objective of inducting professional management had attempted and continues to hire professionals from the market for the key positions of General Manager, Deputy General Manager, NRW Manager, Commercial Manager etc. While these attempts have resulted in some islands of excellence,t due to short term nature of such contracts, by the time the professional has understood the weaknesses of CWA, the contract term is almost ended and such arrangements further diluted the accountability of permanent internal staff towards the external professionals. 15.3. Hiring of Consultants CWA hires local and international consultants for most of project planning, detailed engineering design and construction supervision tasks. However due to the lack of performance based contracting, these consulting contracts mostly result in high cost overruns and poor quality and workmanship of the resultant infrastructure improvements. For example, CWA had to face substantial leakage through over ground assets like Pailles WTP built recently and CWA ended blaming the supervision consultants and the contractors. As noted above, limited capacity and dubious selection requirements have led to contractors being selected who have delivered poor workmanship and materials for PE pipe replacement. In the above background, it is imperative to understand the core reasons for CWA's deteriorating performance and failure of the attempts discussed above. 15.4. Intermittent Water Supply CWA's key problem is the prevailing practice of intermittent water supply which makes all the efforts to reduce non-revenue water futile. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 45 24h July 2016 Figure 27 – Vicious cycle of intermittent water supply With each dry season and aggravated with high leakage and bursts, CWA resorts to increased rationing affecting the network strength and reducing the asset life. The rationing would seriously inhibit operational feasibility of active leakage control (ALC) resulting in ever increasing losses. To break this downward spiral, CWA requires a carefully planned and dry season insulated strategy of expanding the service areas with continuous (24x7) water supply and going after the resultant increased losses with high vigilance and trained human resources supported by sufficient and timely availability of financial resources. Implementation of above strategy requires the following key ingredients: i. Change Management: Major surgery of change management especially in the functioning of operations, commercial, planning and development and procurement divisions and practices. CWA itself should be subject to performance requirements which are then reflected in management and division performance targets. Procurement bottlenecks and processes need to be addressed, so that improvements can be achieved over a reasonable timeframe ii. Improving Quality and Workmanship: A total change of mindset is absolutely necessary to ensure that CWA procures and implements the best quality, sustainable workmanship. iii. Water Resources: Additional water resources to meet the increased losses that will result from the introduction of continuous supply (see 15.5 below) iv. Structured and focused NRW control program to reduce NRW to about 44% through a holistic and phased approach. Leakage Rationing Increased Friction Low Pressure Storage/ Boosters Increased Rationing High friction/ Surge Low network efficiency Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 46 24h July 2016 v. Financial Resources: It is essential to ensure continuous and timely availability of financial resources for pipe renewal plus working capital to meet the incremental opex necessary for additional production and intensive leak repair in the short term and for investment and asset planning in the longer term. As CWA does not recover its capex needs through revenue it cannot rely on investment levels and so is unable to plan medium or long-term. The most sustainable way to ensure that CWA has consistent funding available and is financially self-sufficient would be through improving CWA's operational and financial performance so that it can raise funding through tariffs and can eventually raise commercial finance. While the components (i) and (ii) above would be dealt in detail by the project team separately, an attempt is made to assess the resources required to address the components (iii) and (iv) hereunder. 15.5. Requirement of additional water resources The rationing resorted by CWA during the year 2015 is shown below.

Based on the average hours of supply in each operating zone and the NRW levels seen during the year 2015, an attempt is made here to project the NRW volume in simulated 24x7 supply and the resultant production capacity required which is shown below.

During year 2015, CWA produced an average of 673mld and hence additional resources of (855-673=) 182mld would be required. However, it is not prudent to switch over to 24x7 service in the entire service area simultaneously if NRW is to be managed and it has to be planned efficiently from upstream to downstream DMAs in a phased campaign. Assuming a time line of five years of implementation to switch over to 24x7 to achieve say a 44% resultant NRW level, the requirement of production capacity would be 710mld necessitating additional water production of 37mld. CWA had already initiated augmentation of water resources by 60mld (60000cum/day) capacity water treatment works at Bagatelle Dam at a cost of MRU1.25billion. Although the associated water transmission works are in completion stage, the dam and treatment works procurement are held up in local courts due to a procurement award controversy. Assuming CWA resolves the procurement issue, the availability of additional 60mld should be achieved in about three years that is by 2019. 15.6. Focused NRW Control Although considerable efforts have been made by the recent NRW consultancy implemented by SCE, the resultant reduction in NRW was not encouraging (although as some of the planned works are still in implementation the overall impact of the pilot is not yet established). Taking into account the lessons that are being drawn from the consultancy, the following strategy would need to be systematically implemented: i. DMAs isolation integrity can be achieved with relatively limited investment as the DMA structure is still in tact ii. Information management, analysis and monitoring requires modern tools like GIS and ERP systems for improving efficiency of operations and commercial services. There needs to be greater coordination between the operations and commercial divisions iii. High amount of losses in communication pipes and about a third of dysfunctional meters and another third of slow moving meters indicate that the network rehabilitation should focus on house service connections and a scientific meter replacement policy iv. About 4,000 bulk customers consume about 30% of the potable water supply and contribute about 35% of CWA revenue. Assuming 10% meter-error in this category would account to almost 3% of losses and 10% loss of revenue. As such it would be ideal to install high accuracy electronic customer meters (ultrasonic and automatically and remotely read) for these customers. v. High pipe breaks in MAVL due to greater proportion of AC pipes indicate that pipe renewal should focus on early replacement of AC, PVC, Steel, GI and CI pipes which are more than 40years of age. CWA desperately requires a scientific and robust asset replacement policy and protocol to sustain the improvements made. vi. Customers are treated as sources of revenue and complaints rather than as assets which are the center of CWA's business. Change management and an overhaul of the commercial division is required to transform it into a modern customer facing and orientated business. Currently GoM has proposed to support CWA with investment funding of MRU 8 billion under BMF and the investment proposals drawn up by CWA to utilize these funds are shown in Annexure 2A and 2B. Mauritius Potable Water Sector Reform CWA Diagnostic Report - Final The World Bank P a g e " 48 24h July 2016 However, these proposals are adhoc and are not based on a structured strategy of NRW control and achieving continuous water supply. In light of above, an effort is made to develop an outline structured investment and asset management strategy, founded on the following principles. a. Water resource adequacy to be achieved with Bagatelle water treatment and transmission system to be completed by year 2019 b. Debottlenecking the existing water extraction arrangements to facilitate inter-zonal transfer to DWS North and MAV Lower zones c. Upgradation of water treatment process to meet the increasing turbidity in raw water resulting from climate change and deforestation d. Focused and structured water loss reduction program comprising of following components. i. Renewal of DMAs to ensure functional measurement and monitoring instrumentation and integrity of isolation of zone ii. Replacement of service connections and customer meters to reduce leakage and commercial losses iii. Prioritised pipe renewal program to minimum dependence of Asbestos Cement pipes and old cast iron pipes iv. Replacement of identified mains with high leakage and repair history v. Pipe-renewal cum remodeling of primary distribution mains to improve water supply and pressure in the network The above strategy is pictorially shown in the process flow diagram provided in the following page.

Costing of Service Improvements 16.1. Capex Requirements Considering the local operating environment and the absence of detailed asset management plans and asset condition assessment, any attempt to estimate the capex requirements is based on set of assumptions made as per prudent industry practice. Unless the system is operated on site and the network activity is captured and the asset data updated on continuous basis, it is not practical to determine exact capex requirements. In addition, the level of capex is also influenced by future growth and especially any demand management measures CWA undertakes in lieu of reaching the limit of locally available water resources. As CWA progresses towards cost recovery to reduce dependence upon the government subsidy by improving the operating efficiency and rationalizing user fees, the demand at tap would tend to reduce facilitating deferment of any further resource augmentation. Taking these issues into consideration the scoping of capex and costing is undertaken and an indicative capex profile is determined. This profile is to assess the impact on level of capex subsidy required and also user fees to be charged for improved operating efficiency. The profile is subject to continuous update based on availability of funds and ground truthing of actual investments required during the first five years of operations. 16.2. Basis for Scoping Asset rehabilitation and replacement assumptions are made duly taking into account the historical capex investments made by CWA since year 2006 including the recent NRW project by itself as well as the network rehabilitation being implemented by the Central Wastewater Authority. 16.3. Basis for Costing The unit costs for planning service improvements are derived from analyzing the recent NRW consultancy project as well as the proposed investments by CWA under BMF Phase I as shown in the following table.
