The policy had gone through the process of procedures and provisions of laws and regulations, where the governor represented the regional government in the ownership of separated regional assets (KPM) at the regional public company for drinking water Jaya had the authority to decide on the appointment and dismissal of the directors.

It has been regulated in laws and regulations, including: - Article 3 of Government Regulation number 54/2017 on BUMD; - Article 12 paragraph (1) letter b of Bylaw number 4/2021 on Changes in the Legal Form of a Regional Drinking Water Company for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta to become a Regional Public Water Company for Drinking Water Jaya; - Gubernatorial Regulation number 5/2018 on Appointment and Dismissal of BUMD Members.

To achieve 100 percent service coverage, they require an additional 11,150 liters of water per second. Towards 100 percent service in 2023 and the challenge of achieving 100% service coverage in 2030 is certainly not an easy job. They must immediately take strategic steps by carrying out transitions and transformations.
