According to him, each island has a different IPA capacity according to community needs. Overall, the SWRO in Seribu Islands is capable of producing up to 1,867 liters of clean water per day.
"For the allocation of clean water for each resident, it is 64 liters per day. We've also added the capacity of the water tower on Harapan Island so that the residents' clean water needs can be met with quantity, quality, continuity, and affordability," he explained.
Seribu Islands SDA Sub-agency Head, Mustajab added checking and maintenance of the SWRO and BWRO IPA on each island is routinely done.
"Hopefully, the community's clean water consumption needs are met. We will increase capacity if the community needs it," he stated.
