REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Regional Clean Water Supply Company (PDAM) must have a clear business scheme in place to meet the public's demand for clean water supply, noted an official.
"I think the State Budget (APBN) is ready to support the PDAM, but it must have a clear plan, for instance, who will build the distribution network," Chairman of the Drinking Water Supply System Development Agency (BPPSPAM) Tamin Zakaria Amin remarked in a statement, here, Tuesday.
He expressed support to establish synergy and cooperation among regions to expand clean water supply service to the public.
The BPPSPAM is expected to attract quality investors keen on expanding and improving the clean water supply services across Indonesia.
The PDAM service covers merely 70.05 percent of the nation.
The government has set a target of 100 percent clean water supply coverage by 2019.
According to a recent study, of the 359 clean water supply companies in Indonesia, only 182 are categorized as healthy, 103 not healthy enough, and 74 unhealthy.
