90 Hydrants in West Jakarta BrokenAccording to him, his side cannot rely to hydrant when the fire happens. It is because the water debit inside the hydrant is low.
"The water is managed by PT Palyja," he admitted.
Responding this matter, he appealed his unit to find another water source to be used to extinguish fire.
In the future, he planned to propose a fence for hydrant for its safety.
