The representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in South Sudan revealed that the water treatment plant to supply water to Juba City will be completed in February next year at a cost of 45 million dollars.
Sagara Fuyuki, the chief representative of JICA in South Sudan said that Juba residents will enjoy clean water when the project is completed.
“The water plant is set to be completed in February next year. The cost is almost USD 45 million,” Sagara said. “The bridge also cost almost USD 97 million.”
According to JICA, the project aims to improve the capacity of the water supply system of Juba by constructing water intake facilities, a purification facility, a distribution reservoir, transmission pipelines, 120 public tap stands, and eight water tanker filling stations.
“Due to the rapid increase of population in the capital city and the lack of adequate water supply facilities, people of Juba have limited access to safe and clean water which is causing water-borne diseases and economic burden,” According to JICA. “Upon completion of the Project, SSUWC will be able to provide clean and safe drinking water to over 400,000 people in Juba. JICA has also implemented technical cooperation projects to enhance the management capacity of SSUWC since 2010.”
