PROJECT DETAILS

To manage the increase of demand for water supply in Gaborone and recent drought conditions, the Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) of Botswana is planning a wastewater reclamation project that will use the effluent generated by the existing Glen Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) as a source of potable water. This is based on a Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) structure, that entails the rehabilitation of the Glen Valley WWTP, the development of a new wastewater reuse facility, and the operation of both facilities.
