English term or phrase: to provide water and waste facilities
Since 2009 XX has been working as a Programme Officer in the team. Kristof worked earlier as a consultant. He is working three days a week. He worked for XX, drilling boreholes and commissioning water treatment plants in Sudan and "provided water and waste facilities for refugees" in Albania.

He was also involved in rehabilitating boreholes in Somalia and the development of cholera activities in Mogadishu.

I'm not sure exactly what this person did.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

para proporcionar agua y servicio de tratamientos de (aguas residuales) residuos


Explanation:
you usaría aguas residuales por waste facilities aún repitiendo la palabra agua sin q exista esta repetición en el escrito original porque suena más fluido hablar de aguas residuales que de residuos. Y todo esto si puedes conferir dicho sentido del texto.
