Technical Cooperation in Phnom Penh(1999–2006)The City of Kitakyushu transferred water distribution block technology for efficientoperation and maintenance. This involved subdivided management of a water distribution network with an overall length of 1,300 km into 41 blocks, as well as technical cooperation for achieving the objectives of eliminating unaccounted-for water, proper water purification plant operation, water quality improvements, and proper operation and maintenance of electrical equipment. The Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority issued a Drinkable Water Proclamationin May 2005.

Siem Reap (signed March 2011) (28)Orders for supplemental work on basic planning for water purification plant constructionOrder amount: ¥14 millionParticipating firm: Hamagin Research Institute, Inc.⇒ The goal is to receive orders for detailed planning.

Percentage of water volume as unaccounted-for water (water leakage and theft): from 72% to 8% (comparable to Japan)

Sen Monorom (unofficial agreement reached August 2011) (29) Consulting services for waterworks improvements (basic planning, detailed planning, & construction management)Order amount: ¥27 million (to be signed early this year)

Consulting services for basic waterworks planning in nine cities(December 2011)The Ministry of Industry, Mining and Energy is drawing up basic waterworks plans in nine main cities within the next four years and has asked Kitakyushu to provide consulting. The minister for Industry, Mining and Energy has signed a memorandum with the mayor of Kitakyushu.

Kampot & Kep(January‒March 2012) (30)

This is being managed as part of JICA’s “Basic Study on the Application of Japanese Technology for Increasing the Availability of Water Supply Services in Cambodia’s Provincial Cities” (placing orders with Metawater Co., Ltd. among others) (a basic study on waterworks project planning and pipeline planning).

Toward overseas water business development through international cooperation

Kitakyushu City Water and Sewer Bureau & the Kitakyushu Overseas Water Business Promotion Conference

Waterworks Improvement Projects in Cambodia

*A “Friendship and Cooperation Agreement” was signed between the two cities in April 2009.

Comprehensive agreementThe Mayor of Kitakyushu & the Vice-Chairman of HaiphongKitakyushu will provide technical consulting in accordance with requests from Haiphong with regard to problems involving Haiphong’s waterworks and sewage system.

Business agreementThe Director of the Kitakyushu City Water and Sewer Bureau & the President of Hai Phong Water Supply Co.Kitakyushu performs technical consulting to the subject of the water and Hai Phong Water Supply Co. will be installing the block water distribution system used by the Kitakyushu City Water and Sewer Bureau within five years, and if technical difficulties arise, technical consulting will be requested of the Kitakyushu City Water and Sewer Bureau.

Primary Research through a Public-Private Partnership with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Jan.-Mar.2012 (31)The aim is to apply the results of this research to the joint commercialization of a block water distribution system with Haiphong.(Effective operation and maintenance will be carried out by subdividing Haiphong’s water network into about 100 blocks.)

The rivers that provide water for Haiphong get polluted by domestic sewage, and this has become an urgent problem. Kitakyushu, at the request of Hai Phong Water Supply Co., is taking advantage of a JICA Grassroots Cooperation Project (FY2010‒2012) to construct a local demonstration plant using biological contact filters (BCFs), an advanced proprietary technology of Kitakyushu’s, and to conduct experimental demonstrations.
