MCC Urban Water Supply Systems Activity

Timor-Leste - Water Supply, Sanitation and Drainage Project - Urban Water Supply Systems Activity: This Activity will supply disinfected water to Dili and four districts of Timor-Leste (Aileu, Ermera, Liquica, and Manatuto) through the design and construction of an On-site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation (OSHG) plant and the purchase of disinfectant distribution equipment.

MCC Funding will support the design and construction of the OSHG plant which will provide the required amount of 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution for disinfection of wastewater and drinking water. The drinking water disinfection component will serve the Dili Municipal Water System and the four targeted districts.

The facility will house up to four OSHG skids each with a production capacity of 680kg/day.

MCC Funding also will support the design and construction of a high grade sodium chloride storage building at the Wastewater Treatment Plant with the capacity to store salt, the primary raw material required for the OSHG system, with capacity for a two-month supply of salt.

This high-grade sodium chloride storage building will also house brine tanks, water tank, pressure filters, water pump, and brine pumps.

In addition, MCC Funding will support the purchase of a number of tanker trucks and associated infrastructure and equipment for delivery of disinfectant to water supply application points in Dili and the surrounding districts.
