The Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA)’s “Feasibility Study for the Renewal and Modernisation of the Kyiv Vodokanal” was prepared in January 2001 by COWI in associate with Severn Trent Water International and OKO United Consultants. The project and its resulting documents will be referred to as “the Danish Feasibility Study” hereafter in the text.
In 1994, DEPA established an agreement with the Ukrainian Ministry of Environment and Energy to assist efforts related to environmental management protection. In 1998, DEPA committed to assisting KVK in their efforts to renew their water supply and wastewater systems and modernize their organizational and financial management systems. The first element of this assistance was an Identification Study which was conducted in 1999. Based on the results of the Study, a full feasibility study was implemented.
The results of the work comprise five reports as follows:
- “Final Programme Report, Project Document and Project Catalogues & Terms of References, Draft Version, September 2000 and final Version, January 2001”;
- “Working Document No. 3-Reform and Corporate Development, July 2000”;
- “Working Document No. 2-Strategic Plan, May 2000”;
- “Working Document No. 1-Exisitng Situation, Main Report and Appendices, March 2000”; and,
- ‘Inception Phase Report-Institutional Reform Concept, January 2000”.
The overall output of the report was a fully justified, financially viable, consolidated development program for KVK comprising institutional, financial and operations reforms as well as strategic short-term and long-term plans for capital investments. The study team comprised COWI, Consulting Engineers and Planners (Denmark), Servern Trent Water International (UK), Accent Marketing & Research (UK), OKO United Consultants (Ukraine). Involvement of KVK staff was reported to be extensive. The reports are referenced in the text as described in Appendix A.
All of the reports identified above were provided to the study team. They were invaluable in supplementing the information gathered during the site reconnaissance and staff interviews.
