Japan pleased with successful completion of the Melamchi Water Supply Project: Ambassador Kikuta’s message
On behalf of the Government of Japan, I would like to congratulate the government and the people of Nepal who have worked so hard to make this major project come true. The Melamchi Water Supply Project has faced many hurdles over the last 20 years, including the obstacles recently caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, the will of people has finally overcome all the difficulties under the outstanding leadership of Rt. Hon. President Mrs. Bhandari. This much awaited project has been successfully completed thanks to the continuous and untiring efforts of all the stakeholders involved.
On this occasion, I would like to pray for the two workers who unfortunately lost their lives during the water inflow testing of the tunnel. We should never forget the fact that this project was completed on the great devotion of these colleagues and their fellow Nepali workers.
The Melamchi Water Supply Project is one of the national pride projects of Nepal. It is our pleasure that Japan be a part of the joy. We assisted 5,494 million Japanese Yen, equivalent to NPR 5,806 million for the construction of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Sundarijal. From that Water Plant, the challenge started to provide clean water for Kathmandu residents.
The Water Plant construction makes a crucial component of the overall plan, of which related projects were financed by ADB and others. The Plant has the capacity to purify 85 million liters per day, making clean water to make Kathmandu residents become free from keeping water at tanks at their homes, or fetching water from the communal wells when they need. The water from Melamchi finally reached to Kathmandu on Sunday March 28th. We hope the project will contribute to better health, better daily lives and better standards of living of Kathmanduites.
Finally, I wish that the project further strengthens the relationship between Japan and Nepal, and the friendship of people in the two countries.
The Government of Japan is pleased with the successful completion of the Melamchi Water Supply Project, the national pride project of Nepal that will distribute safe drinking water to the residents of Kathmandu Valley. The completion ceremony of the Project was held in Kathmandu on April 2nd, with the gracious presence of Rt. Hon. President Mrs. Bhandari.
The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Sundarijal is a crucial component of the overall project and it was funded by Japan. Japan provided loan assistance of around 5,494 million Japanese Yen (equivalent to NPR 5,806 million) for the construction of the plant. The Government of Japan signed an E/N on this loan with the Government of Nepal in March, 2001 and the construction was completed in December, 2017.
The Plant has the capacity to purify 85 million liters per day, which make clean water for Kathmandu residents to become free from keeping water at tanks at their homes, or fetching water from the communal wells when they need.
The Embassy of Japan in Nepal hopes the clean water from the Melamchi River will contribute to better health, improving daily lives and upgrading the standards of living of Kathmanduites. We hope that the successful completion of the project will further strengthen the relationship between Japan and Nepal, and the friendship of people in the two countries.
