MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENTOF THE IBRD TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO BANCO NACIONAL DE OBRAS YSERVICIOS PUBLICOS

FOR A SECOND WATER SUPPLY AND SANITAON SORPROJECT

1. I submit for your approval the following memorandum andrecommendation on a proposed loan to Banco Nacional de Obras y ServiciosPublicos (BANOBRAS) with the guarantee of the United Mexican States for theequivalent of US$350 million to help finance a Second Water Supply andSanitation Sector Project. The loan would be at the Bank's standard variableinterest rate, with a maturity of 15 years, including five years of grace.

2. Background. In Mexico, water resources are unevenly distributed.Average rainfall ranges from 100 mm/year in the dry zones of the North to5,000 mm/year in the tropical lowlands of the South. In addition, while 70%of the population and 80% of the country's industrial plant are located above theelevation of 500 m, only about 15% of the country's surface water is above thatelevation. Moreover, a significant number of aquifers are being depleted andsevere pollution has threatened and reduced the use of many nrvers and othersurface bodies of water. Municipal water supply, the main subject of theproposed project, accounts for about 11% of the country's total demand forwater resources. The lagest water user in Mexico is agriculture, accounting forabout 80%. Industry accounts for only about 7%, with other uses accountingfor another 2%.

3. Overall, water supply and sanitation services have improved during thepast three years, following a decade of stagnation in the 1980s. In 1992, 84%of the population had access to piped water, compared to 70% in 1980. Duringthe same period, access to sewers increased from 49% to 67%. In spite of thisprogress, services are still inadequate, and significantly below comparablecountries in Latin America. Furthermore, the problem of insufficient coverageis aggravated by poor water quality. Largely as a result of this deficiency,gastro-intestinal diseases are still one of the principal causes of morbidity andinfant mortality.

4. For the first time in Mexico, the current administration has establisheda coordinated legal, policy and institutional framework within which to managethe country's scarce water resources. As a result, Mexico now has a wellconceived water management policy which is presented in a government policystatement issued in support of the proposed project. This policy is consistentwith the Bank's operational policy guidelines on water resources management(OP 4.07) and its recent water resources management paper. Mexico's policyis based on the following elements: (a) integrated water management based onthe development of river basins; (b) water pricing aimed at improving theefficiency of water use and the implementation of tariffs that cover costs andreflect scarcity values; (c) decentralized, efficient and financially-sound waterutilites (WU) at the local level, together with greater participation of

2-

communities; and (d) protection of the environment through: (i) incentivepolicies, such as pollution charges; (ii) expanding water and sanitation coverageto the poorest segments of the population; (iii) restoration and preservation ofecosystem and groundwater resources and regulation of extraction; and (iv) strictenforcement of environmental regulations.

5. Significant progress has been achieved on the legal front. Two importantnew laws, the National Water Law and the Federal Water Charges Law, werepa3sed in December 1992 and October 1991, respectively. The National WaterLaw provides for the development of water markets, private sector investmentand water conservation. It also better defines water property rights, includingconcession renewals for periods of up to 50 years, and provides for changes inwater use and the transfer of concession titles without p-ior governmentapproval. The National Water Law also mandates the creation of "river basincouncils" (consejos de cuenca), composed of government and user grouprepresentatives, to coordinate and manage water resources in an integratedmanner. Furthermore, the law establishes that concessions for water anddrainage systems can be granted to the private sector. The Federal WaterCharges Law defines the charges to be applied to the consumption or extractionof federal watvrs, to the use of public infrastructure and to wastewaterdischarges. An existing law, the General Ecology and Environmental Law,passed in 1988, contains important provisions for the preservation of waterquality.

6. Major efforts have already been made by the Government to improve theefficiency of the sector's institutional framework. Amendments to the MexicanConstitution, made in 1983, assigned to municipalities the responsibility for theprovision of water supply and sanitation services. The majority are organizedas autonomous WUs1, however, some municipalities still manage their waterservices directly, together with other services. Most of the states also operatesome autonomous WUs. They operate small water systems for severalmunicipalities in order to take advantage of economies of scale when individualmunicipalities are too small to run their own systems efficiently. The NationalProgram for Water and Sewerage (NPWS), financed by the ongoing watersector loan, supported the development of financially autonomous municipal andstate water utilities (WUs).

7. The federal secretariat responsible for water resource management, isthe Secretariat of Agriculture and Hydraulic Resources (SARH) which operatesthrough its agency, the National Water Commission (CNA). The SocialDevelopment Secretariat (SEDESOL) is responsible for the issuance of theofficial Mexican water norms and the evaluation of environmental impactassessments (EIAs). All other aspects of water management, including theenforcement of water effluent and environmental standards, are handled by

1. A WU is classified as autonomous if it has its own separate legal identity, its finances areindependent of the municipality or the state, it has ownership of all its assets, propercommercial accounting and auditing, and a Board of Directors with final legal authority tomange its operation.

- 3 -

CNA. CNA has delegated to the Mexican Institute of Water Technology(IMTA), which is also under SARH, the design and implementation of theNational Training Program for the sector. The creation of CNA in 1990, madepossible a full integration of all aspects of national water resource managementwithin one agency. To help coordinate federal and state activities in the sector,State Water Supply and Sanitation Subcommittees (SWSS) have been created inall the states. The SWSSs represent all sector-related federal and state agencies,and are the focal point for sectoral planning at the state level.

8. The main challenges facing water resource managemernt in Mexico willcontinue to be the implementation of existing legislation, the effective devolutionof responsibilities to the states and municipalities, the implementation of riverbasin management, a more effective use of incentives and other indirectmeasures for pollution control, and encouragement of community participation.To meet these challenges, the CNA has prepared the National Program forWater Quality Irlprovement (NPWQI). This program aims at: monitoringwater quality and assessment; development of effluent standards and dischargepermits; strengthening of the financing system; development of sanitation andtreatment infrastructure; better management of river basin pollution; andstrengthening the sector's institutional capacity, with emphasis on enforcementincluding reliance on a credible self-repordng system for industries within boththe public and private sectors. The strategy under NPWQI is based on theconcept of integrated water management and it includes prescrbed actions,quantitative goals and estimates of investment needs. This program is fullysupported by the proposed project.

9. Rationale for Bank Involvement. The proposed operation is consistentwith the Bank's Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for Mexico to be presentedto the Board with the Northern Border Environment Project (eport No. 6287-ME) on June 9, 1994 in parallel with this project. The stategy aims at assistingMexico to keept its economic restructuring process on track, while supportingprograms that contribute to poverty reduction, improved environmentalmanagement and long-term sustainable economic growth and development,particularly through investments in human resources, infrstrucre and naturalresource management. The strategy also aims to push the reform processdownward to the subnational (state and municipal) level and support the furtherdevolution of expenditure and revenue responsibilities to these localgovernments. Working within this strategy, the proposed project is specificallyaimed at developing capacity to supply water and sanitation services, addressingenvironmental issues, at the local level, increasing services to the poor andprotecting the country's scarce water resources. By providing technicalassistance for the formulation of a well-defined regulatory framework, theproposed project also aims to promote a larger private sctor involvement in thesupply of water and sanitation services. The Bank's past involvement in thewater sector, puts it in a unique position to strongly support the ongoing processof decentalized water utilities, focusing on better management practice,improved water and sanitation service delivery and greater attention to waterpollution problems.

10. Project Objectives. The objectives of the proposed project are to: (a)improve the quality and expand the coverage of water and sanitation services;(b) strengthen the institutional capacity of CNA to comply with its legal mandateto assist local water utilities (WUs) improve their operating and plamingcapability, and train their personnel to properly manage and maintain theirsystems; (c) reduce subsidies- to the sector b- promoting the development ofadequately sized WUs that are operationally and financially autonomous; (d)strengthen BANOBRAS' capacity to appraise and supervise sub-projects at itsMexico City headquarters and, especially, at its state offices; (e) encourageprivate sector participation by establishing the appropriate legal and technicalframework to attract private investment; (f) improve the management of waterresources and the environment by supporting water quality programs; and (g)strengthen the sector's capacity to enforce environmental regulations and carryout EIAs.

11. Project Description. The project would have three main components:(a) strengthening of the major federal institutions that play a key role in themanagement of water resources; (b) supporting the investment/operational plansof WUs; and (c) strengthening the WUs to make them viable and sustainableinstitutions.

12. Strengtening the Federal Agencies (USS 33.7 million). Under thiscomponent technical assistance would be provided to strengthen the capabilitiesof CNA, IMTA and BANOBRAS to provide assistance to the WUs, to evaluateand supervise the implementation of subprojects, to manage water resources andto develop cost-effective po!icies to prevent water pollution.

13. The Investment Support to Local Water Utilities component (US$722.8mii;on) would provide credit to autonomous WUs to fund subprojects in fullcompliance with agreed eligibility criteria related to the technical, financial andoperational viability of the WU and the subproject. Subloans could also be usedto assist public companies to subcontract services to the private secto; byfinancing start up costs. In order to become eligible for Bank financing underthe project, WUs would need to prepare master plans covering their investment,organizational and financial plans over a seven to ten year period. The actionsto be takn in any one year would be recorded in an agreed Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MU). The types of subprojects expected to be financed include:(a) expansion and rehabilitation of water supply and distribution systems suchas: (i) surface water intakes; (ii) raw water pump stations; (iii) wells; (iv)storage tanks; (v) transmission mains; (vi) filtration plants; (vii) disinfectionfacilities; (viii) booster pump stations; and (ix) piping distribution networks; and(b) expansion and rehabilitation of wastewater collection and treatment facilitiessuch as: (i) laterals; (ii) trunk sewers; (iii) pump statons; (iv) primary,secondary or advanced wastewater treatment plants; and (v) discharge outalls.This infrastruchte component would also include engineering for thepreparation of detailed design documents and construction supervion.

14. Institutional Suport for the WUs (US$13.5 mMion). Under thiscomponent, technical assistance would be provided to WUs which do not

-5-

comply with the eligibility criteria and, therefore, cannot be included within theinvestment support to WUs component. Techiical assistance under thiscomponent would be onented to helping the WUs become ligible, and hencewould be limited to: (a) preparing master plans; (b) preparing EnvironmentalImpact Assessments (EIAs); and (c) implementing cetain institutionaldevelopment programs, with particular emphasis on commercial and financialareas including tariffs, water metering and reduction of unaccounted-for-waterlosses. Most of the funds for this component would be provided as grants.

15. Project Costs and Filnancing. Total project cost is estimated at US$770million. Financing for institutional development support for the federal agencies(US$33.7 million) will be channelled through BANOBRAS. Financing forinvestment support to Local Water Utilities (US$722.8 million) would be basedon a combination of Bank loan and government (federal and state) grant fundsalso channelled through BANOBRAS. While the precise proportion ofgovernment grant funds will depend on the level of income and population ofthe states and municipalities in which the WUs are located, a provisionalMdicative estimate has been made. On average, the following proportions areexpected: loans from BANOBRAS, 45 %; internal cash generation from theWUs, 15%; federal grnts, 25%; and state grants 15%. The institutionalsupport to the local WUs (US$ 13.5 million) will be financed by state andfederal grants (from 70% to 100%) with the difference being linanced under theproposed loan as a loan from BANOBRAS. All imvestments financed by loansare expected to be recovered through water and sewage fees and additionalinteral cash generation due to increased effliciency of the WUs. Estimatedproject costs and the proposed financing plan are provided in Schedule A.

16. Up to 10% of the total loan would be eligible for retoacive financingto ensure continuity of technical assistance and infrastructure investments as allfunds from the ongoing water supply operation have been committed. Allretroactive financing would be in accordance with Bank guidelines and wouldapply to expenditures incurred after July 7, 1993.

17. Project bnplementation. The Borrower and executing agency for theproposed project would be BANOBRAS, which will be reonsible for overallproject execution. CNA, as the government agency responsible for the watersector, will serve as the technical agent. The WUs will be the main executorsof the subprojects approved for financing under the proposed loan. The smtegovernments will allocate the grants to the selected subprojects. CNA will beresponsible for ensuring that a judgement on the preliminary ElAs prepared forsubprojects under consideration is issued and that additional ations, as requiredin connection with the subprojects (such as the need to issue an EnvironmentalImpact Statement), are taken.

18. BANOBRAS, in order to better coordinate, supevise, and monitor allwater and sanitation projits that it finances, would appoint a Task Manager,who would work within the newly created Executive Coordinating Unit (ECU),using the resources of the existing division in charge of Financing Potable Waterand Sewerage Projects. Operating regulations have been designed to guide

-6 -

project implementation and monitoring. Support to the federal agencies wouldbe implemented by the respective federal agencies. Master plans would be theresponsibility of the WUs. CNA would be available for advice. Eachsubproject would have its own financing, cost recovery, and implementationscheme in accordance with agreed criteria. Performance indicators for thesector were developed during appraisal. In addition, performance indicatorswould be developed for each WU in their respective master plans. Theseperformance indicators will be monitored by CNA, BANOBRAS, and byBank/Government missions in the context of semi-annual and mid-term reviews.

19. Project Sustainablilty. By strengthening the sectoral framework forwater resources management as well as the local institutions that deliver waterand sanitation services, the project is expected to contribute to a sustainableinstitutional development process. This is reinforced at the local level byrequiring a minimum internal cash generation as part of the financing plan ofthe WUJs, in addition to a minimum rate of return of 12% for each subproject.

20. Lessons Learned from Previous Bank Involvement. Bank involvementin the water supply and sanitation sector started in 1973 with the approval of thefirst water supply loan. To date, six loans have been made amounting to aboutUS$675 million. The only ongoing project in this sector, (Loan 3271-ME,US$300 million, 01/18/1991) is 95% disbursed and 100% committed. It isexpected that this project will be completed and closed by mid 1994, two yearsahead of schedule.

21. The key lessons learned from the previous operations in Mexico, whichhave been taken into account in the design of the proposed project, may besummarized as follows: (a) the preferability of having one agency take theleadership role; (b) the importance of subproject design and preparation; (c) thedesirability of decentralized decision making and greater participation ofbeneficianres; (d) the need to have adequate supervision from BANOBRAS andCNA; (e) the need to give the beneficiaries a real sense of ownership of theproject; and (f) the importance of coordination among the various agencies.

22. Actions Agreed. During negotiations, agreement was reached on thefollowing main conditions: (a) eligibility criteria for the participatingautonomous WUs and onlending conditions; (b) indicators to measure projectimplementation and impact; (c) reporting schedule and semi-annual reviews; (d)timing of the project mid-term review; (e) a methodology regarding theprocedure to verify and implement the EIA process; (f) schedules for reporting,with quantitative indicators including status of river basin studies and the statusof the national targets to increase the volume of treated wastewater; and (g)annual reviews of the national program for training in the sector.

23. Conditions of loan effectiveness would be that: (a) the Guarantor andBANOBRAS shall provide the Bank an executed contract, satisfactory to theBank, descrbing the Guarantor/BANOBRAS transfers and relending procedures;and (b) BANOBRAS shall have (i) the MIS fully operetional; and the ExecutiveCoordinating Unit (ECU) legally established.

24. Environmental Aspecs. The proposed project, which is a category Bproject, would help improve evironmental conditions in the prqect areas byreducing water pollution and minimizing the danger of water-related diseases.It would assist Mexico in improving its water pollution control policies byproviding CNA with added capacity to develop pollution oontrol strategies, tomonitor water quality and to enforce environmental regulations. Each WU'smaster plan would contain a preliminary E1A for all the aetivities proposed.Prior to funding, individual investments would be recorded in the annualMemorandum of Understanding and would have ELAs in accordance withexisting SEDESOL guidelines. The current legislation also allows for thepossibility of dispensing with an EIA by submitting a prior notice demonstratingthat the activity in question will not cause negative environmental impacts, orexceed the limits and standards defined by technical regulations.

25. Intenational waterways. Mexico shares intenaional waterways withBelize, Guatemala and the United States. Interational waterays as defined inOD 7.50 include not only rivers or other bodies of waters that form a boundarybetween countries but also rivers or bodies of surface waters that flow throughtwo or more states and tributaries or other bodies of surface water that are apart or a component of any such waterways. The proposed project is nationalin scope and under its investment component local improvements in watersupply treatment and sanitation may be financed through subloans in areas thatcould affect Mexico's international waterways. While both the Mexicanauthorities and the Bank belies -at, because of the nature of the project, theseimprovements would only have beneficial effects, if any, on other riparians, itis too early to determine the possible impacts on neighboring countries until theactual imvestments have been identified and appraised. After discussion of thismatter with Mexico, and at the request of Mexico, it was agreed that the Bankwould inform the neighboring countries of the proposed project, which wasdone.

26. Official communications from each of the three neighboring countieshave been received. In light of the procedures for selection and appl ofsubprojects to be financed under the proposed loan, as well as the expectedbenefcial effects of such subprojects on the affected waterways, Belizeexpressed its full support for the project. The United States encouraged theBank to continue with the preparation of the project and stated that it wouldreview the project at the time of its presentation to the Exeutive Directors.Guatemala said it would assure itself dtrough its bilatl treaty arrangementswith Mexico that the interests of both Mexico and Guatmala will be protctedwith respect to subprojects. In light of these statements, no special provisionsfor subprojects that may affect teational ter*ays with Belize, Guatemalaand the United States have been included in the project documents. (Copies ofthe responses of Belize, Guatemala and the United States are attached as Annex1,.

27. Progam Objective Category. By imprving the operions of waterutilities at the local level, the project is expected to etend coverage of basic

-8 -

water supply and sanitation services to the poorer areas of the communities thatthese utilities serve. As a result, the quality of life in these poorer areas shouldimprove substantially. The project is also aimed at encouraging private sectorparticipation by establishing the appropriate legal and technical frameworkwithin which to attract private investment.

28. ProJect Benefits. Improved water quality can be expected to contributeto the control of cholera and significant reductions in other gastro-intestinaldiseases, which are especially prevalent in the poorer areas of Mexico. Theproject is expected to uirectly benefit about 10 million people. In addition, theproject would: contribute to the ratonalization of sector investments; promotewater conservation through the implementation of more rational tariffs and thereduction of unaccounted-for-water losses; stimulate intemal sector savings;reduce the sector's dependence on Government funding; promote the adoptionof cost-effecdve policies to achieve environmental improvements; and encourageinvestment in human resources in the environment field.

29. Project Risks. The technology involved in the proposed investments andthe required technical assistance do not pose any unusual risks. However,continued ieform of sector policies and institutions is a complex undertakingwhich is subject to various political and other changes. Although major reformmeasures were taken under Loan 3271-ME, the following risks remain: (a)inadequate counterpart funds due to Government delays in distributing itsrevenue-sharing contribution to the states and municipalities; (b) failure to givethe beneficiaries a real sense of project ownership due to pressures from a morepolitically powerful CNA and SEDESOL; and (c) lack of coordination betweenother federal programs, such as SOLIDARIDAD, dtt may introduce policychanges affecting overall implementation of sector policies agreed to in thecontext of the project. The frm commitment shown by Government in the

eparation of this project and its track record in this and other sectors givesconfidence that whatever problems that arise in implementation can beovercome.The curent design of the proposed project, including the agreementsreached with the Government, also reduces these risks to a minimum, acceptablelevel.

30. Recommendation. I am satisfied that the proposed loan would complywith the Articles of Agreement of the Bank and recommend that its ExecutiveDirectors approve it.
