We are looking for a Team Leader for the Strengthening Institutions for Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Zambia (SIWAS) for Technical assistance to enhance trade effluent management practices in Lusaka. To focus only on the trade effluent component to be implemented in the SIWaS project. Provide technical assistance to LWSC and other key stakeholders to strengthen their capacities in trade effluent monitoring, regulation, and enforcement. This is to ensure that adequate measures will be in place to safeguard the old and new sewer networks from the trade effluent discharged into the public sewers.
Interventions related to the trade effluent component are closely linked to the FC project implemented through the German development bank KfW Ecological Urban Development Lusaka”, through which two wastewater treatment plants for Lusaka are being financed under the Lusaka Sanitation Program. Technical Cooperation (TC) will assist in the management of industrial wastewater/ trade effluent on the basis of the development of an indirect discharger register. Regulated discharge of trade effluent into the public sewerage system will avoid the influence of substances from trade effluent (industrial wastewater) that impair treatment processes and cause structural damage to the sewer network and/ or WWTPs.
