All individual connections to households are completed and the water flows through the new pipes in most project areas, while defects are being fixed in a few neighborhoods in Ashtarak and Echmiatsin. The actual impact of the reform in terms of NRW reduction will be measured in six months' after completion of all works in the network, i.e. January 2016, and the operator is confident that the 70% end-project target will be ensured. The annual independent technical audit will be carried out in January 2016 to verify these results.

Before the launch of the Project, the billing was quite low, and over time AWSC has significantly increased its billing. This certainly entails an increase in the number of non-payers. There are a number of awareness campaigns that the utility successfully implemented to encourage customers to pay the bills. A successful example of such campaign is quarterly lottery held among those customers of AWSC that regularly pay their bills. These lotteries have been broadcasted on public television and have significantly increased the collection rate.
