The agency signed a loan agreement with the BWSSB for funding the project, which also involves providing sewage services, and building water and sewage treatment plants.

In a release, JICA's chief representative Saito Mitsunori said besides providing safe and reliable water supply, the project will provide an opportunity for the BWSSB to review and develop a new business plan for ensuring sustainability.
