    "content": "though the region has in the recent had past improved access to water for the population, most of the water supply systems in the two counties are small, old, and unsustainable; THAT, the proposed project was designed and strategically positioned to supply water purely by gravity and hence was considered economical in construction, sustainable in operation and maintenance and would provide affordable safe water to communities downstream; THAT, the dam was to be located along Kipsonoi River at the South Western Mau Forest where technical functionality for the project was considered highly feasible, sited at 19 kilometres from the forest edge and with good reservoir integrity for conserving water, and then gravitating to the treatment works located outside the forest where clean water would then be gravitated to the wider supply area downstream; THAT, the main objective of the project was to supply portable water and replace pump fed water service schemes that are not sustainable due to high cost of electricity, and that the project would include a mini-hydropower generation plant; THAT, the project components included a 40m rock-filled dam embankment with an embankment crest length of 300m, a reservoir storage capacity of 18.3mm3, water treatment plant with a capacity of 80,300m3 per day, 1.0mw hydropower substation, raw water main pipeline with a diametre of 900mm extending 19km, 210km transmission and distribution pipeline, 30 storage tanks with 29,050m3 total capacities with an estimated project construction cost of Kshs20 billion; THAT, feasibility studies were undertaken and completed in March 2016 and NEMA License Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the project was completed in July and a NEMA licence No.NEMA/EIA/PSL/5292 Issued; THAT, a commercial contract agreement was signed on 3rd August 2017 and thereafter a supervision consultant agreement signed; THAT"
