III. Project Description
The Project consists of the following components:
Component 1: Investment for safe water supply infrastructure, which will comprise the construction
of a diversion structure for the surface water from BRBD Canal and associated SWTP,
rehabilitation/replacement of leaking pipes and pumping machinery, and installation of bulk and
consumer water meters. The total capacity of the SWTP will be 245,000 m3/day or 53.8 MGD. This
component will also ensure that 100 percent schools/colleges in Lahore are connected with safe drinking
water facility.

North and Northwest areas of Lahore. The plants will be fed by disposal stations located at Shadi Pura,
Bhogiwal, Khokhar, Shadbagh, Shahdara and Farkhabad; and by drainage stations at Mehmood Booti
and Siddique Pura through trunk sewers fed by secondary and tertiary sewerage networks.
