PT Perusahaan Air Minum (PAM) Jaya Director, Erlan Hidayat, admitted the raw water supply in Jakarta remains low. Citizens are still using underground water.

We use underground water to add the supply

At this moment, PAM Jaya is only able to supply 18,000 liter per second. In fact, adequate supply should be 21.500 liter per second.

“We use underground water to add the supply,” he said, Wednesday (5/25).

In the future, his side will request additional supply from Jati Luhur. Water from Jati Luhur will be accommodated in Buaran 3, East Jakarta.

Related to the water pond project run by central government, it will operate in the next three years. It will increase the service up to 60 percent.
