"Like in Singapore, they don't buy water from Malaysia anymore, because if water keeps being taken from lake and river yet it is not circulated, it will surely get dried," said Basuki when he attended Workshop of PAM Jaya-PAL Jaya Unification Plan, Tuesday (10/6).
PAM Jaya Prefers to Serve Industry than Citizen, Ahok SaysJakarta itself, is currently not lacking of water. Since some big rivers such as Citarum, Ciliwung and Cisadane never get dry. However, waste water processing is very important in order not to rely on the existing water flow.
"Actually it can be installed from north area that has many luxury houses. So there will be no more disposing waste to sea, In future we will install it in all residential," he disclosed.
