The damaged Reverse Osmosis (RO) in Panggang Island, Seribu islands, caused crisis clean water in the area.

They said the repair must wait for tender process, whereas water production is dwindling

“Of three ROs, only one is operating, and three others are damage. Thus residents have to queue to get water,” said Secretary of Panggang Island Urban Village, Yuliardi, Friday (10/23).

Yuliardi added that the damaged ROs was been reported to Public Work Sub-Department, but it has not been responded because there is authority transitional from Public WOrks sub-Department to Water Management Sub-Department.

“They said the repair must wait for t ender process, whereas water production is dwindling,” he expressed.

As known, Panggang Island is the most populated island in Seribu Islands. One RO machine of course cannot fulfill residents’ water needs.
