Roads

Approximately 1000m (more than ½ mile) of road rehabilitation and re-surfacing will be carried out in Knollis (assuming a road pavement width of 6.0m). Added to this minor implementation of traffic calming devices and kerb construction are also proposed.

Approximately 750m (less than ½ mile) of 100-diameter new water main pipe will be laid in a trench to supply the community. The project will also facilitate the households connections inclusive of bends and 19mm (3/4'') diameter pipes.

Storm Water Management

The issue of zinc removal is a sensitive one and will require the full cooperation of the community to realize success.
