TANJUNG SELOR - A total of 3,300 residents of the border between Indonesia and Malaysia in Aji Kuning Village, West Sebatik, Nunukan Regency are now enjoying clean water, after Nunukan Regent Asmin Laura Hafid activated the clean water network in the area.

"This also marks the start of the service for installing residents' house connections in the Sebatik Tengah District," said Asmin Laura Hafid, quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, March 19.

In the same activity, the Regent of Nunukan also provided understanding to the public regarding the ease of water payment through applications and bank accounts. He also hopes that people will continue to behave efficiently using clean water.

Regent Asmin Laura also expressed his appreciation to Perumda Tirta Taka Nunukan for working hard to make efforts to fulfill clean water, especially around the second benchmark for the Indonesia-Malaysia border in Aji Kuning Village, Sebatik Tengah District.

Regent Laura said clean water is one of the basic important needs for people's daily lives, both for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, and so on.

In 2022 the Nunukan Regency Government will carry out the installation of a main distribution pipeline network that flows clean water to Aji Kuning Village, accompanied by the procurement of 550 units of aid house connections or the equivalent of 3,300 people.

The Nunukan Regency Government will also immediately carry out a house connection through Perumda Air Drinking Tirta Taka at a low cost.

"This will continue to be developed until the equal distribution of services can be fulfilled for the sebatik community," said the Regent.
