"Every day, we make sure to maintain resi dents' health by providing good sanitation facilities," he stated, Monday (5/4).

He explained, PD. PAL Jaya always processes domestic waste water from each houses ad buildings in order to meet quality standards based on the Environment Minister Regulation No. 68/2016 to ensure it is safe before flowing it to the water bodies.

"For its mechanism, we add disinfectant solution to the waste water which entered through PD. PAL Jaya waste installation before it is released into public channel, thus it is safe," he mentioned.

Regarding disinfectant, his side has its own calculation thus no chance in the residual chlorine.

"In normal days, we usually deploy our personnel in three work shifts with 4 personnel in a shift. During PSBB, we reduce it into 2 work shifts a day," he informed.
