SODECI (Société de distribution d'eau de la Côte d'Ivoire) operates and maintains the municipal water supply and sewerage assets in Abidjan, under a Public-Private Partnership with the Côte d’Ivoire Government. SODECI is required to submit capital investment and maintenance plans for these assets to the Government.

The National Water Authority, ONEP (Office National de l’Eau Potable) engaged associates from VBTM and CDA Consulting Ltd to review the 2009 water submission from SODECI. VBTM and CDA reviewed the submission and the condition of the water assets and determined the work required to upgrade the assets and improve the quality of drinking water supplies.
