Madam Speaker, the project to renew the old defective distribution network along the coastal road of Grand Port, including Anse Jonchée and Bambous Virieux, is in two phases – • Phase 1 of the project, over the section from Anse Jonchée to Bambous Virieux and Petit Sable, pipes are being replaced over a length of 6.4 km, and works have commenced on 10 June 2024. The scheduled completion date is on 10 February

66 2025. As at date, 5.4 km of pipes have already been laid, of which 3.9 km have been tested and commissioned. Temporary road reinstatement has been completed over 4.5 km. • Regarding Phase 2 of the project from Ferney to Anse Jonchée, the total length of pipe replacement is 6.7 km, and works have started on 07 October 2024 with an expected completion date of 06 June 2025. As of now, 2.5 km of pipeline has been laid, and temporary road reinstatement has been completed for 1.8 km. Madam Speaker, following the completion and commissioning of the above 13.1 km of new pipeline by June 2025 next year, dans six mois, it is expected that water distribution for approximately 1,800 households in the region would be considerably improved. Thus, the village of Bambous Virieux, which is currently being provided water through CWA water tankers on alternate days, will be supplied with water through the newly laid pipe with adequate pressure. In addition, the villages of Grand Port, Anse Jonchée et Bambous Virieux will benefit from 18 hours of supply daily instead of 12 hours currently. J’espère que la réponse est satisfaisante. Merci, Madame.

He is doing his best.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.
