Pramono Targets 90 Percent Of Residents Served In Pipe Clean Water During 5 Century In Jakarta
JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung targets the coverage of piped clean water services for Jakarta residents to reach 90 percent on the 500th anniversary of the City of Jakarta in 2027.
So, in the next two years, Pramono projects that only 10 percent of residents throughout the capital will still use groundwater.
"In 2027 at 500 years, my target is that hopefully it will be close to 90. And if that happens, almost 2.3 million customers in Jakarta will be able to use clean water," said Pramono in North Jakarta, Sunday, November 16.
Currently, the clean water network served by regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) PAM Jaya in Jakarta touched 76.19 percent with around 1,072,000 customers as of October 2025.
Then, in 2026, Pramono targets piped clean water services to reach 85 percent in the Jakarta area. Pramono also has ambitions to achieve 100 percent service coverage by 2029.
"Next year it will run smoothly, for clean water in Jakarta it can already be 85 percent. Hopefully, by the end of 2028 or 2029 it will be finished (100 percent). If we can do that, the principle of justice really will happen," said Pramono.
Furthermore, Pramono revealed that the sub-district in North Jakarta is a priority area for the distribution of the piping clean water network. This is because the clean water crisis has become a real problem on the coast of Jakarta at this time.
"On the north coast of Java, especially in the Jakarta area, this is indeed a problem, including in Cilincing, Tanjung Priok and so on. So why is PAM Jaya now building and concentrating in this area," explained Pramono.
Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government is currently accelerating clean water services in northern Jakarta so that residents no longer use groundwater and buy gallon water for their daily needs.

"In this Tanjung Priok or in this northern area compared to other areas, they to get clean water pay more expensive, because on average they buy gallons and so on. I don't think that should happen. So one of my priority programs is to solve that problem," he concluded.
