In the afternoon on 29th January 2014, the EMW team (Assna and Kim Hor) and PDRD Kampong Chhnang Deputy Director (Om Chomroeun) conducted a meeting with Rolea Ba’ear Commune Council to discuss some remaining issues including re-establishment of Water and Sanitation User Group (WSUG) for Andoung Snay piped water supply. First, the Commune Council chief and his members were very impressed with the support of EMW and the achievement of Andoung Snay piped water supply construction completion.
Then, the Commune Council agreed to re-establish the Water and Sanitation User Group (WSUG) to manage Adoung Snay piped water supply system. The new WSUG should be selected from each village of the commune. And, clear roles and responsibilities of the WSUG should be provided.
When the piped water supply system is connected by 250 planned households, EMW is committed to providing additional fund between $20,000 and $25,000 to connect the main pipes to Prey Khmer village to meet the demand of clean water supply in this village.
After the meeting, the EMW team (Assna and Kim Hor) and PDRD Kampong Chhnang Deputy Director (Om Chomroeun) visited the site of Andoung Snay piped water supply system. The system is now safeguarded by the previous WSUG. This WSUG will hand over their responsibility to the newly established WSUG as mentioned by the Commune Council in the above meeting.-

Implementation Status: in_progress Thu 10 Jan 2013, Over 12 Years agoDiscussion with Contractor
Met lowest price tenderer for construction of the treatment system and pipe network to discuss and review the construction cost. After reviewing and discussions, the Contractor agreed to send a new schedule of quantities within this week. For the available construction budget, it is likely that the treatment plant will need to be reduced in size to supply 250-300 households.
EMW will follow up with design team regarding re-design of treatment system and the the contractor regarding proposed modifications.

Implementation Status: in_progress Tue 13 Nov 2012, Over 12 Years agoSecond Study Visit
The WSUG have a clear understanding of the issues and challenges faced during operation and management of a water supply system. They also learnt about methods to encourage the community to connect to the system, potential technical issues, dealing with maintenance issues, collecting fees, leakage in pipes / meters, and understanding how to build communication between their networking groups for assistance.
The WSUG emphasized that they are so happy with this opportunity to visit those pipe water supply system and get a clearer understanding of the importance of water and sanitation for community health and improve people access to safe drinking water. They said that these two site visits were very helpful and useful for them.

Implementation Status: in_progress Mon 08 Oct 2012, Over 12 Years agoWater Quality Sampling and Village Mapping
Upon arrival at the site of the proposed new well, we discovered that the existing well is 45m deep and supplies 10 households with untreated water. However, there is only a little water available from the well during the dry season, it mostly dries up, and so is only used in the wet season. We discussed other potential locations, unfortunately the WSUG and PDRD were unable to identify any other suitable locations that have a good year round supply. We will therefore continue with the original well location and ensure the treatment plant is designed accordingly.
The WSUG have prepared a good hand drawn village map, indicating the location of roads and houses.Please refer to the field trip report for more information.

Discussed draft bylaw with WSUG and reiterated that it was their responsibility to review the document to ensure that they have a suitable bylaw.
With assistance from WSUG we pumped the well, taking measurements of water level regularly and collected water sample for water quality testing. Water level in well recovered quickly once pumping had stopped. Approximately a 100mm drop was noted in the adjacent dug well during the pumping (approximately 10m from new well).

How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.
This rural water supply three-phase project will provide improved water to 2976 people in 4 Villages in Andoung Snay Commune in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia. The beneficiaries will support the sustainability of the project.

Sustainability
Creating and measuring long-term impact
The water supply system will be managed, operated and maintained by the Water and Sanitation User Group (WSUG). A fee for initial water supply connection and water use per litre will be collected to fund ongoing operation and maintenance. The fee will be set by Commune Council and WSUG. East Meets West will provide ongoing technical advice and will undertake monitoring and evaluation for 6 months following commencement of operation.
Other Issues
Unusual and unexpected issues faced during project execution
The Commune has only one available well location and the water quality is poor. The treatment plant will be designed to treat the poor quality water, though the cost of construction and operation will be higher.
