Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Project Background
The Urban Water Supply and Wastewater Management Investment Programme is financed by Asian Development
Bank (ADB) loan with co-financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and
counterpart funding from the Government of Fiji. The executing agency (EA) is Ministry of Economy and the
implementing agency (IA) is Water Authority of Fiji (WAF). The Rewa River Water Supply Scheme (RRWSS) is aimed
to address the current and future shortfall in bulk water supply and wastewater treatment capacity thereby
improving water supply reliability/continuity across the Suva-Nausori water supply system. It will also provide bulk
water supply and water treatment capacity to allow the servicing of areas not currently supplied with reticulated
water and to service future growth within the Suva- Nausori water system. Hence, the overall project will increase
the capacity of the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) to provide safe water and sewerage services to the urban
population of the greater Suva area (GSA) where approximately 30% of Fiji’s population lives. In this context the
water supply subproject will build infrastructure to increase water production by 20% in the GSA.
The project has been classified as Environmental Category B and provides environmental benefits by increasing
access to safe water supply to the Greater Suva Area (GSA) as well as wastewater treatment and management
capacity in the GSA; WAF management and sustainable service delivery capacity will also be improved. The Rewa
River Water Supply Scheme (RRWSS) involves the design and construction of a new river intake and pumping
station on the Rewa River, a 40ML/d new water treatment plant (WTP), 5ML treated water pumping station, a 26km
of DN900 pipeline to connect the WTP to the existing water supply system servicing Nausori and surrounding
areas, and a 10ML water storage reservoir at Waitolu.
1.2 Purpose of the Report
The Terms of Reference (TOR) have been issued by ADB for the Construction Management and Supervision of
RRWSS and includes monitoring and reporting of environmental and social safeguards implementation during
construction as one of its key responsibilities. As stated in the TOR, the scope of services and deliverables for
safeguard compliance are as follows:
Safeguards compliance
• Undertake internal monitoring of the safeguard covenants compliance as per project and loan agreement
and to include in the quarterly safeguards monitoring report
• Facilitate and monitor the implementation of the Construction Environment Management Plan [CEMP]s
prepared by the Contractor for Design, Build and Operate and for Gravity Main Contracts.
• Assist in the monitoring and reporting of the LARP.
• Monitor Contractor / Sub-Contractor compliance with Fiji Labour laws
The deliverable of the Consultant includes semi-annual safeguard monitoring reports (environment, social, gender)
and this report is intended to fulfil this obligation. This report presents the accomplishments of the CS02B (DBO
and GM) for the environmental and social safeguards and gender covering the semi-annual period January 2021
to June 2021.

3 Project Description
The RRWSS is one of the sub-projects of the multi-tranche Fiji Urban Water Supply and Wastewater Management
Investment Programme, supported by ADB. This RRWSS sub-project is divided into two (2) contract packages, the
Design Build Operate Package and the Gravity Pipeline Package. The salient features of each of the packages are
described in the following sections.
Contract Packages:
ICB1.1.1 – The DBO Contract is comprised of a raw water intake structure and pumping station on the River Rewa,
40 MLD Water Treatment Plant, (with capacity to increase to 80 MLD in Stage 2 and ultimately to 100 MLD), 5 ML
capacity treated water storage reservoir and pumping station, transmission pumping pipeline and 10 ML service
reservoir at Waitolu.
ICB1.1.2 – Gravity Pipeline Contract comprises the construction of 17.5km of DN 900 steel gravity transfer pipeline
from Waitolu Service Reservoir to a connection point at the eastern end of the Suva-Nausori water system.
3.1 DBO Contract
The Design Build Operate (DBO) package includes the construction of the following facilities:

4 Project Progress During January – June 2021
Overall construction was progressing well for both GM and DBO Contracts. However, on the 17th April 2021, a new
outbreak of Covid-19 struck Fiji, whereby Water Authority Fiji authorised the Employer’s Representative on 29th
April 2021 to instruct the Contractor to temporarily suspend all local workers and comply with the directives of the
Ministry of Health in containing Covid-19. This resulted in temporary stoppage of all work on the Gravity Main
Contract and limited work on the DBO Contract. Work on the DBO Contract continued with limited work as the
workforce is mainly made up of Chinese labourers and a few local labourers who are living in the camp facilities.
Construction of the permanent works was severely impacted during the month of May and June during the COVID-
19 pandemic in Fiji. It has also been reported that a number of Chinese personnel are wanting to return to China
due to the increasing number COVID-19 cases in Fiji, while some workers do not want to get the vaccine offered
in Fiji. It is understood that they are waiting for the arrival of vaccines from China which they are willing to take.
4.1 DBO Component
During the semi-annual period January 2021 to June 2021, the following table shows the key activities that were
undertaken and had been achieved:
The status of the facilities under the DBO component is enumerated in the following table:

4.2 Gravity Main Component
Overall progress was greatly affected during the reporting period due to a new outbreak of COVID-19 cases in Fiji,
whereby the Water Authority of Fiji authorised Employer’s Representative on the 29th April 2021 to instruct the
Contractor to temporarily suspend all local workers and comply with the directive of the Ministry of Health in
containing COVID-19. This resulted in temporary stoppage of all work on the Gravity Main Contract.
The following table shows the key activities that were undertaken and had been achieved:
The status of Contractor’s temporary facilities is listed as per table 6 below.
