Publication Stock No. WPS135546 Key sector challenges -- Policy, institutional, and legal reforms -- ADB support to Armenia's Water Sector -- Lesson's learned -- The next chapter for the Armenian Water Sewerage Company. In 2007, ADB approved a loan of 6 million to Armenia to help improve public health and the environment for 576,000 people in 16 towns by (i) revitalizing and rehabilitating the existing water infrastructure, and (ii) increasing the capacity of the water supply and sanitation service providers. While this project had positive implementation results, the need to address pressing issues, including capital investments for upgrading of the network and the long-term financial sustainability of the Armenian Water and Sewerage Company (AWSC), remained. Thus, in 2012, ADB approved the Government of Armenia?s request for 40 million dollar in additional financing to continue and expand the improvements delivered by the initial project. This paper outlines ADB?s interventions to improve water supply and sanitation services in Armenia through the initial project and the additional financing. It also highlights the rationale behind the structure of a new tariff regime, which is aimed at fostering the long-term financial sustainability of AWSC. Water resources development Armenia.
