Jakarta-owned tap water company PAM Jaya targets clean water management in Jakarta starting February 2023.

We'll have a clean water management transition team from PT Aetra Air Jakarta and PT PAM Lyonnaise Jaya

PAM Jaya President Director, Priyanto Bambang Hernowo said, the work contracts of the two private company partners would expire in January 2023 according to the cooperation agreement signed on June 6, 1997.

"We'll have a clean water management transition team from PT Aetra Air Jakarta and PT PAM Lyonnaise Jaya," he expressed, Sunday (12/5).

He explained, the team would focus on asset problem, as Aetra and Palyja's assets would be controlled by PAM Jaya as the regulator of clean water management in the capital after the contract ended.

"We will also focus on business process, basically there is production and service too," he explained.

He added, PAM Jaya's other focus in full clean water management efforts was on human resources (HR), legal aspects of transferring water management as a whole and main source.

He went on to say that this step needed to be carefully considered thus the service felt by customers remained optimal, despite at that time PAM Jaya was taking over the management of clean water from its two private partners.

"We want to make sure when there is a change in management there is no service disruption. Then, in the medium and long term, we can accelerate basic drinking water services for the community," he explained.

He added, partners cannot also sue for the infrastructure that has been built to provide services to drinking water customers. Moreover, the cooperation itself uses a financial projection basis, so they have made a project budget plan when they want to start a business.

"Talk about heir own investment, it is approximately Rp 4 trillion," he stated.
