The Lusaka Sanitation Program aims to increase access to sustainable sanitation services to Lusaka’s residents especially the urban poor, and strengthen Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company’s (LWSC) capacity to manage sanitation services. The program aims to address one of Zambia’s most binding constraints to economic growth through infrastructure investment in Lusaka, the rapidly urbanizing capital.
The project involves providing new sewers and interceptor sewers in a dense urban environment in 3 areas of Lusaka, and will include trenchless construction technology (pipe jacking).
The specific elements of this project are:
1. Sewer network expansion with installation of a new sewer network of 18km in length in residential districts.
2. Sewer network expansion along Kafue Road. This will involve the installation of about 10km of sewer network and 3 pump stations.
3. Upgrade of Ngwerere Western Interceptor. This will involve the construction of over 4km of sewer interceptor, using trenchless construction technology.
