Infrastructure Customers in the hinterland are supplied by 354 production centres operating 480 boreholes, 70 full treatment plants and a 9,686-kilometre section of the network. Current production stands at 200,000 m3/day. Emergency Programme In the face of these serious deficits, the government decided to introduce an emergency programme involving the fast-tracking of on-going projects and rehabilitation of the production centres. This ensured the following: - rehabilitation of 44 production centres in 2012, including 10 regional county towns and 30 administrative divisions at a cost of 5.75 billion and a reviewed production capacity of 5,000 m3/d; - boosting of potable water supply for the town of Man, BID-MAN at a cost of 7.2 billion and completed since 30 December 2012, with a production capacity of 12,000m3/d; - boosting of potable water supply for the towns of Daloa, San Pedro and Tabou a cost of 14.8 billion for a capacity of 33,475m3/d with financing from the European Union; - boosting of potable water supply for the towns of Korhogo and Bouaké at a cost of 13 billion with financing from the World Bank.

Strategy The strategy for the reduction of the shortfall in the towns of the hinterland consists of the following measures: - rehabilitation and facelift of existing systems, and -extension of existing networks. Once the existing systems have been upgraded and demand is met, water supply systems should be developed for new towns which do not have access to same, by giving priority to more densely populated towns. Furthermore, as an overarching measure common to that of Abidjan, social connections and public standpipes should be developed. On-going Works As a matter of priority, on-going projects have to do with rehabilitation, boosting and extension works for 38
