Drinking water pipeline renewal in the capital represents another major challenge alongside increased production capacity. Drinking water production capacity is gradually strengthening in the capital. Since August 3, two new compact treatment units (CTU) have been operational at the Mandroseza site. These new installations, implemented under the Drinking Water Access Improvement Project (PAAEP), financed by the World Bank Group, allow approximately 4,500 m³ of additional water per day to be injected into Jirama's distribution network. This contribution should help progressively improve service delivery in several neighborhoods located on the heights of Antananarivo, particularly around Ambohipo and surrounding areas, which regularly face supply difficulties. This commissioning complements capacity already installed in recent months. Since mid-May, the first CTU installed at Mandroseza injects 24,000 m³ daily into the network. Another unit was then commissioned in early July at Tanjombato. With the two new installations operational since Monday, the additional volume supplied to Antananarivo now reaches nearly 30,000 m³ per day. Optimizing Resources Production strengthening is only one component of PAAEP. The project also includes interventions on the distribution network to reduce losses and improve household access. Approximately 63 km of leaking pipes must be replaced, as well as 30,000 obsolete meters. Simultaneously, 10,000 promotional connections are planned to facilitate new users' access to the network. Ultimately, these investments should significantly increase the quantity of water actually distributed and improve service quality for thousands of households. PAAEP is not limited to the capital. The project also concerns several major urban centers nationwide. Work is notably ready to begin in Mananjary, Antsirabe, Mahajanga, Fianarantsoa, and Manakara. Through these structural investments and sector capacity strengthening, the project aims to develop more reliable and higher-quality water supply services in several Madagascar cities.
